Summary:
The Electra Independent School District (Isd) is home to two schools - Electra Elementary and Electra Junior/Senior High. The district serves a predominantly low-income population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools.
While Electra Junior/Senior High has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 78.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%, the district as a whole is ranked 646 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating relatively low performance compared to other districts in the state. Both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, with Electra Elementary dropping from a 2-star to a 1-star rating and Electra Junior/Senior High dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating.
The significant gap between Electra's STAAR performance and the state average, particularly in core subjects like reading and math, suggests that the district may need to focus on improving instructional practices and student support to better prepare students for academic success. While Electra Junior/Senior High outperforms the state on certain end-of-course exams, the district as a whole faces challenges in meeting the academic needs of its students, which may be exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
