Summary:
The city of Dale, Texas has only one school, Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade and is part of the Lockhart Independent School District (ISD). The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (94.65%) and a high percentage of students (73.42%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary's academic performance is a concern, with consistently lower proficiency rates in reading, mathematics, and science compared to the Lockhart ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels. The school's ranking has also declined over the past three years, dropping from 2,946 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3,664 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities for its student population.
The high concentration of economically disadvantaged students at Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary may contribute to the school's challenges, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student learning outcomes. Further investigation into the underlying factors behind the school's declining performance and achievement gaps is crucial to develop effective strategies for addressing these issues and ensuring that all students in Dale, Texas receive a high-quality education.
