Summary:
The Freer Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage across all schools.
Freer High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, boasting a high 4-year graduation rate of 96% and the lowest dropout rate at 0.4%. The school also outperforms state averages on several STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in English II Reading and U.S. History. In contrast, Norman M. Thomas Elementary struggles with low proficiency rates in 3rd grade Reading and Mathematics, well below state averages.
Across the district, high percentages of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80% at Norman M. Thomas Elementary to 83% at Lucy Aragon J.H. This demographic challenge, combined with the district's generally low performance on state assessments, suggests a need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve academic achievement, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels.
