Irving Independent School District (Isd)

The Irving Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates a total of 33 schools, including 20 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 822 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Jack E Singley Academy, a public magnet high school, is the highest performing school in the district, ranking 940 out of 1,987 high schools in Texas and rated 3 out of 5 stars. It boasts an exceptional 99.7% four-year graduation rate and a very low 0.1% dropout rate, along with test scores that significantly outperform the district and state averages. At the elementary level, Gilbert F.M. Elementary and Elliott Elementary also stand out, with strong test scores and high rankings within the state.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps across the district. Many schools struggle with low test scores, high dropout rates, and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. The district faces significant challenges in improving the quality of education and addressing these disparities, but the success of specialized programs like Jack E Singley Academy suggests that targeted interventions can drive improvement.
