Royal Independent School District (Isd)

The Royal Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with African American and White students making up smaller portions of the student body. However, the schools in Royal ISD consistently underperform compared to state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 71.67% across different grade levels and subject areas.

While Royal High School has a slightly below-average graduation rate of 91.4% and a dropout rate of 1.3%, the district-wide academic performance remains a significant concern. The low proficiency rates, which are significantly lower than the state averages, suggest that the Royal ISD schools face substantial challenges in providing quality education and supporting student success. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 71.38% to 80.68%, may contribute to these academic struggles.

Across the district, the schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective state-wide rankings over the past three years, indicating a lack of significant improvement. This raises concerns about the district's ability to effectively address the educational needs of its students and ensure equitable access to resources. Further investigation may be warranted to understand the underlying factors contributing to the persistent academic underperformance and to develop strategies to support the schools and their students.
