Summary:
Karnes City Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Karnes City High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (71.43%) and has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (56.84%), indicating a relatively low-income community.
Academically, Karnes City High School has struggled to keep pace with state and district averages. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is generally below the state's, with proficiency rates ranging from 36% in Algebra I to 73% in U.S. History, compared to state averages of 45% and 71%, respectively. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 61.8% is significantly lower than the state average, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to support student retention and success.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending ($14,692) and small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 11.1), the academic performance data indicates that the resources may not be optimized or effectively utilized to drive student achievement. Further investigation into the school's resource allocation and utilization practices, as well as strategies to support the unique needs of the student population, could be crucial in improving the overall performance and outcomes at Karnes City High School and the Karnes City Independent School District.
