High Schools in Elgin Independent School District (Isd)

The Elgin Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Elgin High School and Phoenix High School. While Elgin High School serves a larger student population of 1,672, Phoenix High School has a much smaller enrollment of only 50 students.

The academic performance at these two high schools varies significantly. Elgin High School generally performs better than the Elgin ISD district average and the state of Texas in STAAR EOC exams, while Phoenix High School lags behind both the district and state averages. Additionally, Elgin High School has a higher four-year graduation rate of 88.6% compared to 63.3% at Phoenix High School, and a lower dropout rate of 2.1% versus 12.8%.

Despite the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Phoenix High School, the school's academic and graduation outcomes remain significantly behind those of Elgin High School. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as targeted interventions and support, may be needed to address the performance disparities within the Elgin ISD.
