Summary:
The Hempstead Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: Hempstead Elementary, Hempstead High School, and Hempstead Middle. Unfortunately, the data indicates that none of these schools are performing at a high level, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments and graduation rates below the state average.
Across all three schools, academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests ranging from just 12.5% to 39.45% proficient or better. Hempstead Elementary has particularly low proficiency rates, while Hempstead High School and Hempstead Middle also struggle to meet state standards. The district's four-year graduation rate of 85% at the high school is also below the state average.
Socioeconomic factors likely play a significant role in the academic challenges faced by the Hempstead ISD schools, with 80-90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the district appears to have an imbalance in resource allocation, with the high school spending significantly more per student than the elementary school. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial for the district to improve student outcomes and provide a better educational experience for the community.
