North East Independent School District (Isd)

The North East Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates a diverse set of 72 schools, including 46 elementary schools, 15 middle schools, and 11 high schools. The district serves communities with a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the free/reduced lunch rates that vary from around 17% to over 95% across the schools.

While the district has some exceptional campuses, such as Reagan High School and Johnson High School, which are ranked among the top 144th and 126th high schools in Texas respectively, the data also reveals significant achievement gaps within the North East ISD. Some elementary and middle schools struggle with low proficiency rates, particularly in math, while others like Roan Forest Elementary, Hardy Oak Elementary, and Wilderness Oak Elementary are among the top-performing schools in the state.

The data suggests the district is allocating additional resources to support specialized and alternative campuses, as evidenced by the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios at those schools. However, the wide range in performance across the district highlights the need for the North East ISD to address these achievement gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
