Summary:
The Fabens Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates four schools, including two elementary schools (Fabens Elementary and Johanna Odonnell Intermediate), one middle school (Fabens Middle), and one high school (Fabens High School). The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with very high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the district, Fabens High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.5% and stronger performance on certain STAAR EOC exams compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Johanna Odonnell Intermediate is the highest-ranked school in the district, outperforming the district and state on STAAR Reading and Mathematics exams for 4th and 5th grades.
However, the district and its schools generally underperform the state average on STAAR EOC and STAAR exams across all grade levels and subjects. The significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the district, with very high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and relatively low spending per student, likely contribute to the overall academic underperformance. Addressing these challenges and focusing on improving test scores across all grade levels and subjects could be key areas of focus for the district's leadership.
