Summary:
The city of Elm Mott, Texas, is home to two underperforming schools: Connally J H, a middle school, and Connally Pri, an elementary school. Both schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of students coming from low-income families, and they struggle to meet state academic standards.
Connally J H is ranked 2,227 out of 2,361 Texas middle schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges. Similarly, Connally Pri does not have a statewide ranking or SchoolDigger rating available, suggesting it is also underperforming. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on STAAR tests compared to the state averages, particularly in mathematics.
The financial information for these schools also raises concerns. Connally Independent School District, which oversees both Connally J H and Connally Pri, is ranked 926 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The per-student spending at Connally J H ($10,544) is higher than at Connally Pri ($9,087), indicating potential funding disparities within the district. These challenges, combined with the high poverty levels in the community, suggest that targeted interventions and additional resources may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for students in Elm Mott.
