Fort Stockton Independent School District (Isd)

The Fort Stockton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the district has a high graduation rate and low dropout rates, its schools consistently perform significantly below the state averages on standardized tests, with most schools ranking in the bottom quartile statewide.

The standout schools in the district include Fort Stockton Intermediate, which has the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio, but its test scores are below average. Butz Preparatory Academy, a small high school, has the lowest student-teacher ratio but also the lowest test scores in the district. The district's high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 59% to 81%, may contribute to the overall low academic performance.

While the district's high graduation and low dropout rates indicate that students are staying in school, the consistently poor academic outcomes across the board suggest systemic challenges that need to be addressed. Targeted interventions and support programs, as well as a closer examination of resource allocation and demographic factors, could be key to improving student achievement in the Fort Stockton ISD.
