Summary:
The Point Isabel Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, with very high free/reduced lunch rates across the district.
Among the standout schools, Port Isabel Early College High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%, but lower than average test scores, particularly in Algebra I. In contrast, Derry Elementary generally outperforms the district and state on STAAR tests, especially in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade math and science. However, both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of Hispanic students and free/reduced lunch eligibility.
Overall, the data suggests the Point Isabel ISD schools are struggling to address the needs of their predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. While some schools, like Derry Elementary, show stronger academic performance, others, like Port Isabel Early College High School, have room for improvement in core subject areas. Targeted interventions and support, along with a closer examination of successful practices in higher-performing schools, could help the district improve outcomes for its students.
