Hondo High School stands out with its impressive 99.2% 4-year graduation rate and strong performance on STAAR EOC exams, particularly in English I/II Reading and U.S. History. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district generally perform below the state average on STAAR assessments, with the exception of McDowell Middle School, which boasts a 94% proficiency rate in STAAR EOC Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
The data also reveals variations in resource allocation, with Meyer Elementary spending $8,232 per student, while Hondo High School spends $10,905 per student. The student-teacher ratios also vary, with the elementary schools having higher ratios compared to the middle and high school. These findings suggest that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure equitable support for all students and address the academic performance gaps observed across the different grade levels.
