Wills Point Independent School District (Isd)

The Wills Point Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with a majority of White and Hispanic students, and a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Among the standout schools, Wills Point High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.7% and strong performance in U.S. History STAAR EOC exams, outpacing the state average. Meanwhile, Wills Point J H excels in Algebra I STAAR EOC exams, with a proficiency rate higher than the district and state averages. However, the district as a whole consistently underperforms the state in academic assessments, with Earnest O Woods Intermediate and Wills Point Middle struggling particularly in 3rd/4th grade Reading and Math, as well as 5th/6th grade Reading, Math, and Science.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.69% to 68.3%, suggests that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. The district's per-student spending, ranging from $8,734 to $10,331, is generally lower than the state average, and the student-teacher ratios are relatively high, indicating limited resources. To improve student outcomes, the district may need to closely examine its resource allocation, teaching practices, and strategies for supporting its low-income student population.
