Dilley Independent School District (Isd)

The Dilley Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: Dilley Elementary, Dilley High School, and Mary Harper Middle. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic, low-income student population, with significant challenges in academic performance compared to state averages.

Among the standout schools, Mary Harper Middle stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio, the highest 8th-grade math proficiency, and a 0% dropout rate. Dilley High School also impresses with a strong 95.7% four-year graduation rate, though its performance on the STAAR EOC U.S. History exam remains below the state average.

However, the overall academic performance across the Dilley ISD is a concern, with proficiency rates in STAAR/STAAR EOC exams significantly lower than state averages, particularly in reading and math. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.14% to 84.92%, suggests that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in the district's educational challenges. The district must continue to focus on improving academic outcomes and ensuring equitable resource allocation to support the success of all its students.
