Summary:
The Runge Independent School District (Isd) operates two schools: Runge Elementary and Runge High School. Both schools are struggling, with low test scores, high poverty rates, and poor rankings compared to other schools in Texas.
Runge Elementary is ranked 4358 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools and has a 0-star rating, while Runge High School is ranked 1748 out of 1987 Texas high schools and has a 1-star rating. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on STAAR/STAAR EOC assessments compared to the state averages, and Runge High School has a 73.3% four-year graduation rate, well below the state average.
The high poverty rates at both schools, with over 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that the Runge Independent School District (Isd) serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. While Runge High School spends more per student than Runge Elementary, the district's overall performance indicates a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Runge community.
