Overton Independent School District (Isd)

The Overton Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two schools: Overton High School and Overton Elementary. While Overton High School boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, the district as a whole is ranked 622 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.

Both schools have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with Overton Elementary at 72.57% and Overton High School at 65.76%. This suggests a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed in the test scores. Overton High School's STAAR/Reading proficiency rates range from 33.33% to 70.37%, while Overton Elementary's range from 37.93% to 63.89%, generally performing below the state average in STAAR/Mathematics proficiency rates.

The student-teacher ratio at Overton High School is significantly lower than the ratio at Overton Elementary, with 8.4 students per teacher compared to 12.8 students per teacher. This could indicate a greater level of individual attention and support for high school students. However, both schools have seen fluctuations in their statewide rankings, with Overton High School consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools and Overton Elementary experiencing a significant drop in its ranking from 2021-2022 to 2022-2023. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes across the Overton Independent School District (Isd).
