Summary:
The Lake Worth Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. While the district as a whole faces significant academic challenges, with performance well below the state average, a few schools stand out as relative bright spots within the system.
N A Howry STEAM Academy emerges as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates on STAAR reading and math tests compared to the other district schools and the state average. This school's focus on STEAM education and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes. Marine Creek Leadership Academy is another standout, with the second-highest STAAR performance, particularly in 5th grade reading and math.
Despite these bright spots, the Lake Worth ISD as a whole faces significant challenges. All four elementary schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.84% to 95.27%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the district's low ranking (933 out of 968) among Texas school districts suggests systemic issues that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes across the board.
