Whitney Independent School District (Isd)

The Whitney Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students from low-income families receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Whitney High School stands out as the district's top performer, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.8% and strong performance on STAAR end-of-course exams, particularly in U.S. History and English I Reading. In contrast, Whitney Intermediate has seen a decline in its SchoolDigger rating, dropping from 2 stars to 1 star in recent years.

The district's middle school, Whitney Middle School, also performs well, with relatively high STAAR Reading scores for 8th graders. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with lower STAAR proficiency rates in areas like 3rd-5th grade Reading and Mathematics. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.64% at Whitney High School to 74.3% at Whitney Elementary, suggests that the district may need to address socioeconomic factors to improve academic outcomes across all grade levels.
