This area serves a predominantly Hispanic, low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Among the standout schools in the area is Mission Collegiate High School, which ranks in the top 226 high schools in Texas and boasts a 99.1% four-year graduation rate. Another high-performing school is Domingo Trevino Middle, which ranks in the top 1,137 middle schools in the state and excels in 8th grade math. In contrast, some elementary schools, like Carl C Waitz Elementary, lag behind district and state averages in academic performance.
The data reveals a wide range in school funding, with per-student spending ranging from $9,871 to $13,743 across the 10 schools. This variation in resources may contribute to the differences in academic outcomes observed. While all schools reported 0.0% dropout rates, there is room for improvement in test scores, particularly in math, where many schools fall short of district and state proficiency levels. Targeted interventions and instructional support could help boost student achievement in this area.
