Summary:
The Mexia 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 school). The district serves a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students, and faces significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
While the Mexia High School has seen a decline in its state ranking and academic performance, the Developmental Center, an alternative high school, stands out for its extremely low student-teacher ratio and 0% dropout rate, suggesting a highly personalized and effective educational approach for its small student population. The district's academic weaknesses, particularly in mathematics and science proficiency, present opportunities for targeted interventions to support student success.
Overall, the Mexia ISD schools face a range of challenges, from declining performance at the high school level to significant socioeconomic barriers. However, the data also highlights the unique approach of the Developmental Center and suggests that with targeted support and interventions, the district can work to improve student outcomes across its schools.
