Wharton Independent School District (Isd)

The Wharton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in this district are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates, with no clear standout schools.

The highest-performing school appears to be Wharton J.H. (middle school), which had the best test scores among the schools, with 35.51% of 8th graders proficient or better in reading and 24.43% proficient or better in math. However, these scores are still well below the state averages. Wharton High School had a relatively high 91% four-year graduation rate, but its test scores were the lowest of the schools. The elementary schools, Wharton Elementary and C.G. Sivells Elementary, had the lowest test scores, with less than 35% of students proficient or better in reading and less than 20% proficient in math.

The schools in the Wharton ISD have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.51% at the high school to 89.98% at C.G. Sivells Elementary. This, coupled with the low test scores, indicates potential equity issues within the district. Addressing the underlying challenges and implementing targeted interventions to support student learning should be a top priority for the district.
