Middle Schools in Socorro Independent School District (Isd)

The Socorro Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 10 diverse middle schools serving students in grades 6-8. These schools vary in their academic performance, with some standouts like Col John O Ensor Middle and Special Rafael Hernando Middle consistently ranking among the top middle schools in the district and state. While the majority of the schools have low dropout rates, there are significant disparities in test scores, particularly in math and social studies.

The middle schools in Socorro ISD serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 62.2% to 91.67%, indicating a high level of economic need. The per-student spending varies across the schools, with the higher-spending institutions generally performing better academically. Additionally, the schools with lower student-teacher ratios tend to have better academic outcomes, suggesting that adequate funding and resources may be key factors in supporting student success.

Overall, the data reveals both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement within the Socorro ISD middle schools. While some schools, like Col John O Ensor Middle and Special Rafael Hernando Middle, have maintained strong academic performance, the district may need to consider targeted interventions and additional resources to address the disparities in test scores and support the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
