Lovelady Independent School District (Isd)

The Lovelady Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has two schools: Lovelady Elementary and Lovelady J H High School. While Lovelady Elementary struggles with lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking, Lovelady J H High School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Texas high schools and boasting an impressive 96.7% four-year graduation rate.

Lovelady J H High School's students outperform the state and district averages in several STAAR subject areas, including Reading, Mathematics, Science, and End-of-Course exams. This strong academic performance may be attributed to the school's higher spending per student ($11,952) and lower student-teacher ratio (10.4) compared to Lovelady Elementary ($9,951 per student and 13.3 student-teacher ratio). However, both schools have a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of African American and Hispanic students, which could be an area for further exploration in terms of equity and inclusion.

While Lovelady J H High School is the standout performer, the disparity in performance between the two schools within the Lovelady Independent School District (Isd) suggests that the district may need to investigate the factors contributing to this gap, such as the higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Lovelady Elementary (52.98%) compared to Lovelady J H High School (44.27%). By addressing these differences, the district can work to ensure that all students in the Lovelady ISD have access to a high-quality education.
