Summary:
The Elgin Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving a diverse student population with a high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students.
While the district as a whole underperforms compared to state averages on standardized tests, Neidig Elementary stands out as a relative bright spot, with significantly higher reading and math proficiency rates than the other elementary schools. In contrast, the alternative Phoenix High School struggles, with low test scores, high dropout rates, and a low graduation rate, highlighting the unique challenges faced by students in alternative settings. Meanwhile, Elgin High School has the highest graduation rate and lowest dropout rate among the high schools, despite its overall below-average performance.
The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the district, ranging from 73.86% at Elgin High School to 89.2% at Booker T. Washington Elementary, suggest significant socioeconomic challenges that the Elgin ISD schools are facing, which likely contribute to the lower academic performance observed across the district.
