Summary:
The Hamshire-Fannett Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with significant Hispanic and African American representation as well. While the schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high free and reduced lunch rates, they demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for improvement.
Hamshire-Fannett Elementary and Hamshire-Fannett Intermediate outperform the state average in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade STAAR reading and math proficiency. In contrast, Hamshire-Fannett Middle School struggles with math proficiency, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade scores well below the state average. Hamshire-Fannett High School stands out with a very high 4-year graduation rate of 99.3% and a low dropout rate of 0.6%, while also outperforming the state average in several STAAR EOC subjects.
The district's schools face socioeconomic challenges, with relatively high free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 38.27% to 47.98%. Additionally, there is a significant difference in spending per student between the elementary/intermediate schools and the high school, which could be an area for further investigation to ensure equitable funding across the district. Overall, the Hamshire-Fannett ISD schools demonstrate both strengths and opportunities for improvement, with the high school's consistent academic performance being a positive, and the middle school's math proficiency and the district's socioeconomic challenges presenting areas for targeted interventions and resource allocation.
