Summary:
The city of Bertram, Texas is home to a single school, Bertram Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade and is part of the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District. While Bertram Elementary has a diverse student population, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
Bertram Elementary's STAAR Reading Proficiency rates range from 19.4% in 3rd grade to 50% in 5th grade, falling short of the district and state averages. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are even lower, ranging from 14.93% in 4th grade to 38.36% in 5th grade, again lagging behind the district and state. The school's 5th grade STAAR Science Proficiency rate of 18.06% is also below the district and state averages. These academic performance concerns suggest that Bertram Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning outcomes.
Additionally, Bertram Elementary serves a relatively low-income student population, with 57.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's spending per student is higher than the national average, it is lower than the state average for Texas, and the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.2 is slightly lower than the national average. These factors indicate that the district is allocating resources to support the school, but the academic performance data suggests that the effectiveness of these resources may need to be evaluated further.
