Summary:
The city of Blossom, Texas is home to a single elementary school, Blossom Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Prairiland Independent School District (ISD). While Blossom Elementary has some positive attributes, such as relatively high proficiency rates in reading and math compared to the state average, it also faces some challenges that are impacting its academic performance and ranking.
Blossom Elementary's student population is predominantly White (84.69%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, Native American, and African American students. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the district and state averages, while others, particularly 5th-grade reading and science, lag behind. Over 55% of Blossom Elementary students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge that may be contributing to the school's uneven performance.
Notably, Blossom Elementary's ranking has declined significantly over the past three years, from 1055 in 2021-2022 to 2303 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's academic performance is declining relative to other Texas elementary schools. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $7,081 is relatively low compared to the state average, which may impact the availability of resources and support for students and teachers. These factors, along with the school's mixed academic performance, indicate that Blossom Elementary may need targeted interventions and resource allocation to address its challenges and improve student outcomes.
