Summary:
The Progreso Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly Hispanic student population with a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
While Progreso High School has a lower-than-average 4-year graduation rate, the Dorothy Thompson Middle School and Progreso Elementary School stand out as academic bright spots, outperforming the district and state averages on several STAAR test subjects. The district's overall academic performance, however, consistently falls below state benchmarks, suggesting a need for improvement in addressing the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
Despite the district's resource allocation being relatively even across schools, with similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, the underperformance of the district as a whole indicates that the current approach may not be effectively meeting the needs of the students. Leveraging the success of the standout schools and further investigating the factors contributing to their performance could provide valuable insights for improving the academic outcomes across the Progreso Independent School District (Isd).
