Summary:
The city of Glenn Heights, Texas, is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among these schools, with Shields Elementary and Frank D Moates Elementary representing the two extremes.
Shields Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, ranking 1576 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in STAAR tests, particularly in reading and math. In contrast, Frank D Moates Elementary, a designated magnet school, struggles the most, with significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.
The data also suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as racial composition and district-level factors, may be contributing to the performance disparities. Schools in the Red Oak Independent School District, like Shields Elementary and Russell P Schupmann Elementary, generally outperform the schools in the Desoto Independent School District, suggesting that district-level factors play a significant role in student outcomes.
