Summary:
The Carrizo Springs Consolidated Independent School District operates 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students in the Carrizo Springs, Texas area. The district faces significant challenges, with high rates of economic disadvantage and achievement gaps compared to state averages, but also has pockets of success, such as the relatively strong performance of Carrizo Springs J H.
While the district's schools generally perform below state averages on standardized tests, Carrizo Springs J H stands out with an impressive 91.84% proficiency rate in Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state. This middle school also benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.9, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Carrizo Springs High School has a lower overall ranking but maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 86.9% and a low dropout rate of 4.5%, suggesting the school is effectively supporting students to complete their high school education.
Across the district, the student population faces significant economic challenges, with 71-81% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the achievement gaps observed between the Carrizo Springs schools and state averages, particularly in areas like 3rd grade reading proficiency. Addressing these disparities and leveraging the strengths of high-performing schools like Carrizo Springs J H will be crucial for the Carrizo Springs Consolidated Independent School District to support the success of all its students.
