Summary:
The Pecos-Barstow-Toyah Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to a single high school, Pecos High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, presenting unique challenges in terms of educational equity and access to resources.
Academically, Pecos High School has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on the STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) End-of-Course (EOC) exams. The school's proficiency rates range from 15.28% in Algebra I to 44.1% in U.S. History, significantly lower than the state averages. This poor academic performance has led to a declining statewide ranking, from 1463 out of 1876 Texas high schools in 2021-2022 to 1660 out of 1987 in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it has a relatively low dropout rate of 0.4% and a four-year graduation rate of 88.8%, which is slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, at $23,153 for the 2020-2021 school year, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization to improve student outcomes.
