Lake Worth Independent School District (Isd)

The Lake Worth Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 933 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges across the schools.

While the district faces widespread underperformance, a few schools stand out. Lucyle Collins Middle School has the highest STAAR EOC proficiency rates in the district, particularly in Algebra I (56.36%) and Biology (41.89%). Additionally, Marine Creek Leadership Academy has some of the highest proficiency rates in the district, especially in 5th grade Reading (41.54%) and Mathematics (35.38%). However, even these higher-performing schools still rank very low statewide.

Across the district, the data reveals significant achievement gaps, with schools in Lake Worth ISD performing well below state averages on STAAR assessments. This is likely due to the high percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, as all schools in the district have very high free/reduced lunch rates. While the district spends between $11,331 and $13,900 per student, which is generally in line with the state average, the lack of improvement over time suggests a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the persistent academic challenges facing these schools.
