Summary:
The Progreso Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Dorothy Thompson Middle, which serves a predominantly Hispanic student population. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 9.33% in 8th grade Mathematics to 80% in Algebra I End of Course exams.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes, the academic challenges persist, suggesting that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution. The school's student population is also highly economically disadvantaged, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic struggles. However, the school's low dropout rate of 0.9% indicates that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student achievement.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Dorothy Thompson Middle, the only middle school in the Progreso Independent School District (Isd), with consistently low academic performance and a highly homogeneous and economically disadvantaged student population. The findings highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to address the school's challenges and support the academic success of its students.
