Summary:
The Eagle Pass Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to three high schools: Eagle Pass High School, C.C. Winn High School, and DAEP. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population and face varying challenges and successes.
Eagle Pass High School stands out as the largest and highest-performing school in the district, boasting a remarkable 97.3% four-year graduation rate and a very low 0.2% dropout rate. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in several STAAR EOC assessments, particularly in U.S. History, Biology, and English II Reading. In contrast, C.C. Winn High School lags behind in most subject areas, suggesting a need to investigate the factors contributing to the performance gap between the two high schools.
The DAEP school, a smaller alternative program, stands out for its extremely low student-teacher ratio of 4.6 and high spending per student of $30,425, indicating a focus on individualized attention and support for its specialized student population. This specialized approach appears to be effective, as DAEP has a 0% dropout rate. However, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at C.C. Winn High School (86.21%) and DAEP (95.65%) suggests that these schools serve communities with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact their educational outcomes.
