Somerset Independent School District (Isd)

The Somerset Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 201 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Two schools stand out in the district: Shirleen Zacharias Early College Leadership Academy, a high school that has consistently ranked among the top 5% of high schools in Texas, and Somerset Elementary, an elementary school that ranks in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools. Shirleen Zacharias Early College Leadership Academy boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate, a 0% dropout rate, and exceptional performance on STAAR end-of-course exams, while Somerset Elementary's 3rd and 4th grade students outperform the district and state averages on STAAR Reading and Math assessments.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. While some schools like Shirleen Zacharias Early College Leadership Academy and Somerset Elementary excel, others such as Somerset High School and Somerset J H struggle, with proficiency rates that are significantly below the state averages in several subject areas. These disparities, coupled with the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district, suggest potential equity issues that may need to be addressed.
