Itasca Independent School District (Isd)

The Itasca Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: Itasca Elementary, Itasca High School, and Itasca Middle. While the district serves a diverse student population, the schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages on key academic measures such as STAAR test scores and graduation rates.

Across the district, STAAR test scores lag behind state averages, and Itasca High School has a lower 4-year graduation rate (81.3%) and a higher dropout rate (4.9%) than the state. The student populations at these schools reflect the district's socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, particularly at Itasca Elementary (73.9%).

While Itasca High School has the highest per-student spending and the lowest student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The schools in the Itasca Independent School District (Isd) have consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas schools, suggesting the need for more effective strategies to address the underlying issues and support student success.
