High Schools in Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District (Isd)

The Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two high schools: Edcouch-Elsa High School and Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy. While both schools serve the same community, they exhibit significant differences in their academic performance, graduation rates, and funding levels.

Academically, neither school is performing at the state average, with both institutions struggling to meet proficiency standards on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams. Edcouch-Elsa High School has proficiency rates ranging from 15.65% in Algebra I to 51.05% in U.S. History, while Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy performs even worse, with proficiency rates as low as 0%. This suggests a systemic issue within the Edcouch-Elsa ISD that needs to be addressed.

The disparity in student outcomes is further reflected in the graduation and dropout rates. Edcouch-Elsa High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 90.2%, while Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy struggles with a much higher dropout rate of 18.8%. Additionally, the funding levels differ significantly, with Edcouch-Elsa High School spending $13,998 per student, compared to $8,661 per student at Edcouch-Elsa H S Academy. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable funding and resources across all schools in the district could be a key focus for the Edcouch-Elsa ISD.
