Victoria Independent School District (Isd)

The Victoria Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 23 schools, including 14 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 801 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Vickers Elementary and Mission Valley Elementary are high-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 16% and 24% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. These schools excel in reading, math, and science, with students significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, some schools like Patti Welder Middle and Dudley Elementary struggle, with less than 30% of students meeting proficiency standards in many subjects.

The data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and graduation rates across the district. While the two high schools, Victoria East and Victoria West, both have high 4-year graduation rates of over 97%, the alternative and specialized schools, such as Visd Success Academy, struggle with lower test scores, higher dropout rates, and lower graduation rates. This highlights the need to address the impact of poverty and economic disadvantage on student learning across the district.
