Summary:
The Castleberry Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to three high schools: Castleberry High School, Reach High School, and T R U C E Learning Center. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, T R U C E Learning Center emerges as the top performer, with a 5-star SchoolDigger rating and the lowest dropout rate in the district. In contrast, Castleberry High School, the largest school with over 1,000 students, consistently underperforms on standardized tests compared to the district and state averages, despite having a relatively high graduation rate. Reach High School, with only 35 students, has the highest spending per student but lower test scores and a higher dropout rate than the other schools.
Overall, the Castleberry ISD appears to face significant challenges, with all three high schools ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools based on the SchoolDigger rankings. The high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population may contribute to the academic struggles faced by these schools, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes in the district.
