Marion Independent School District (Isd)

The Marion Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative high school). The district serves a diverse student population with a mix of White, Hispanic, and African American students.

Among the standout schools in the district, Marion High School stands out with a high graduation rate of 99.1% and strong performance on several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, outperforming the state average. The school is ranked in the top half of Texas high schools. Another notable school is Norma Krueger El/Bert Karrer Campus, which ranks in the top 40% of Texas elementary schools and outperforms the state average on several STAAR Reading and Mathematics exams for grades 3-5.

The district's schools show some variation in academic performance and resource allocation. While Marion Middle School has a high proficiency rate in Algebra I EOC, the two elementary schools in the district, Norma Krueger Elementary and Norma Krueger El/Bert Karrer Campus, demonstrate different levels of performance on STAAR exams. Additionally, the Marion Alternative Center has the highest spending per student, likely due to its unique role in serving a specific population of students with unique needs and challenges.
