Silsbee Independent School District (Isd)

The Silsbee Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces some academic challenges, with its schools generally performing below state averages on standardized tests, there are also some bright spots, such as Silsbee High School's high graduation rate and low dropout rate, as well as Edwards-Johnson Memorial Middle's strong performance on the STAAR Algebra I EOC exam.

The district's schools serve a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of African American students as well. However, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest that the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic performance observed across the district. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions could help the district improve its overall academic outcomes.

While the Silsbee Independent School District (Isd) is ranked 775 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the district's schools have the potential to improve. By exploring best practices from higher-performing schools within the state and focusing on areas such as reading and math instruction, the district could work towards better serving its students and preparing them for success.
