Summary:
The La Villa Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, La Villa Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school stands out for its unique demographics, as it has a 100% Hispanic student population, and faces challenges with consistently low academic performance compared to state averages.
While La Villa Middle has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.8 and per-student spending of $13,281, the school's STAAR test scores are generally below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, proficiency rates ranged from 12.2% in 8th grade Science to 66.67% in Algebra I, and the school's statewide ranking has been between 1650 and 2117 out of 2361 Texas middle schools over the past three years. This suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 92.91% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's resource allocation, the lack of racial/ethnic diversity and consistently low academic performance are areas of concern that warrant further investigation. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to these challenges could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students at La Villa Middle and the La Villa Independent School District (Isd).
