Gorman Independent School District (Isd)

The Gorman Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: Maxfield Elementary, Gorman High School, and Gorman Middle. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools.

Gorman High School stands out with a strong 96.8% 4-year graduation rate and impressive performance on STAAR EOC exams, particularly in U.S. History. In contrast, Maxfield Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, despite some positive test score results in 5th grade Reading and Mathematics. Gorman Middle generally lags behind state averages in STAAR proficiency rates across grade levels and subject areas.

The variation in student-teacher ratios across the schools, with Maxfield Elementary having the lowest ratio, may be a contributing factor to their academic performance. Overall, the Gorman ISD as a whole faces challenges in improving student achievement, as evidenced by its generally lower STAAR/STAAR EOC proficiency rates compared to state averages. Targeted strategies to address the specific needs of the district's student population will be crucial for enhancing educational outcomes.
