Summary:
The city of Elgin, Texas is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this Elgin Independent School District (Isd) serve a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the majority across the district.
While Neidig Elementary stands out as the highest performing school, with significantly better test scores in reading and math compared to the district and state averages, the overall academic performance across the district is generally low. Phoenix High School, an alternative high school, has the lowest performance on state assessments, with 0% of students scoring proficient or better in Algebra I and only 4-16% in other subjects. This school also has a low 4-year graduation rate of 63.3% and a high dropout rate of 12.8%.
The schools in Elgin face challenges in serving their predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with all schools having high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.86% at Elgin High School to 89.2% at Booker T. Washington Elementary. The variation in student-teacher ratios and spending per student across the schools suggests potential issues with equitable distribution of resources and staffing, which may be contributing to the disparities in educational outcomes.
