Summary:
The Victoria Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to 5 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. These schools vary in their academic performance, with Victoria West High School standing out as the top-performing school in the district, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to 1-star for Victoria East High School and 0-stars for Visd Success Academy.
Victoria West High School outperforms the district and state averages on most STAAR EOC (End of Course) exam proficiency rates, particularly in Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History. It also has a higher four-year graduation rate of 97.3% compared to 97.4% for Victoria East High School and 79.6% for Visd Success Academy. In contrast, Victoria Regional Juvenile Justice Center serves a unique population of students in the juvenile justice system and performs better than the district and state averages on 8th grade STAAR Reading, with 50% proficiency.
The data also reveals significant disparities in student demographics, academic performance, and resource allocation across the schools. For example, Visd Success Academy and Victoria Regional Juvenile Justice Center have the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 76.92% and 85.71%, respectively. Additionally, Victoria West High School spends the most per student at $9,610, while Secondary Daep spends the most overall at $80,889 per student. These findings suggest the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the observed performance disparities and the equitable distribution of resources within the Victoria ISD.
