Summary:
The McDade Independent School District (Isd) in Texas consists of two schools: McDade Elementary and McDade High School. While the high school performs slightly better on state assessments, both schools generally underperform compared to the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 8% to 58.62% across different grade levels and subjects.
McDade Elementary has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 58.71% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the school's lower academic performance. In contrast, McDade High School has a lower four-year graduation rate of 69.6%, which is a concern, but a dropout rate of 0.0%, which is better than the state average.
The McDade Independent School District (Isd) allocates more resources to the high school, with higher spending per student ($13,470) compared to the elementary school ($10,623) and a lower student-teacher ratio (9:1 vs. 14:1). However, this resource allocation does not seem to translate into significantly better academic performance across the district, as the district-level and individual school-level scores on state assessments are often the same, indicating a lack of variation within the district.
