Hereford Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Hereford Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 744 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, Aikman Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school, ranking 962 out of 4,675 elementary schools in Texas. It has the highest proficiency rates in reading and math across all grade levels compared to the other elementary schools. In contrast, the other elementary and middle schools in the district struggle, with many falling well below the state averages in reading, math, and science, suggesting significant achievement gaps within the district.

Another bright spot is Hereford Preparatory Academy, the 8th grade-only middle school, which had the highest proficiency rates in the district for 8th grade STAAR tests, particularly in Algebra I. This could indicate that targeted, specialized programs can help boost student achievement. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a strong correlation between poverty and lower academic performance.
