Summary:
The Lyford Consolidated Independent School District in Texas operates three schools: Lyford Elementary, Lyford High School, and Lyford Middle School. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 95% of students identifying as Hispanic across all three schools.
While the district as a whole is performing below average compared to other Texas districts, Lyford High School stands out with an exceptional 99.1% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. Additionally, Lyford Middle School has a relatively low dropout rate of 0.4%, better than the state average. However, the district's test scores across all grade levels and subjects are consistently below state averages, indicating a need for improvement in instructional practices and resource allocation.
The high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.97% to 82.56%, suggest the Lyford schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which likely contributes to the lower academic performance seen across the district. The district's focus on supporting its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students is commendable, but continued efforts to enhance instructional quality and targeted interventions could help raise student achievement and better prepare students for success.
