Colorado Independent School District (Isd)

The Colorado Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary/middle school, one high school, and one alternative high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with varying academic performance and challenges across the schools.

Colorado High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with the highest 4-year graduation rate (97.7%) and the best performance on STAAR EOC exams, exceeding both district and state averages. In contrast, Wallace Accelerated High School, the alternative high school, faces significant challenges, with a concerning 11.1% dropout rate and much lower proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams compared to the other schools and the state.

The district as a whole faces some challenges, with overall test scores generally below the state averages, except for Colorado High School. Socioeconomic factors, such as the high percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, may be contributing to the disparities in academic performance across the district. The district has opportunities for improvement, and targeted interventions and strategies could help address the unique needs of each school and improve educational outcomes for all students in the Colorado Independent School District (Isd).
