Summary:
The Kingsville Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant academic challenges, with schools consistently performing below state averages on standardized tests.
Within the district, Perez Elementary stands out as a relative bright spot, with the highest reading and math proficiency rates among the elementary schools. In contrast, Harrel Elementary has the lowest 5th grade science proficiency rate in the district. At the secondary level, H.M. King High School struggles, with only 11.67% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the district average of 14.38% and the state average of 44.73%.
The district's challenges are compounded by high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.91% at H.M. King High School to 94.22% at Harrel Elementary. This suggests that the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic difficulties faced by the schools. While the district as a whole has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 898 out of 968 in Texas, the data reveals potential opportunities for improvement, particularly by learning from the successes of schools like Perez Elementary.
