Summary:
Hereford Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Hereford High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (89.63%), with a high percentage (80.78%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Academically, Hereford High School's STAAR EOC (End of Course) proficiency rates are generally lower than the Hereford ISD and the state of Texas averages across all subjects. For example, in Algebra I, the school's proficiency rate is 28.8%, compared to 35.09% for Hereford ISD and 44.73% for Texas. However, the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 95.6% and a low dropout rate of 0.5%, which is lower than the state average.
Despite the academic performance concerns, Hereford High School appears to be well-resourced, with a higher-than-average spending per student ($10,684) and a lower student-teacher ratio (13.3) compared to the state average. This suggests that the district is allocating resources to support the school, but these resources have not yet translated into significantly higher academic outcomes as measured by the STAAR EOC proficiency rates.
