Summary:
The city of Gregory, Texas is home to a single elementary school, Austin Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Gregory-Portland Independent School District (ISD). With a diverse student population and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Austin Elementary faces mixed academic performance compared to district and state averages, as well as challenges in serving a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Austin Elementary has a diverse student body, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (69.09%) and a mix of other racial backgrounds. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is variable, with some grades and subjects performing better than the district and state averages, while others lag behind. For example, the school's 4th-grade math proficiency rate (51.67%) was higher than the district (53.94%) and state (44.67%) averages, but its overall reading and math proficiency rates for grades 3-5 were generally lower than the district and state.
Despite these challenges, Austin Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, which is lower than the national average. Additionally, the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 1801 to 3042 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools. This suggests that the school's performance may be variable, and further analysis would be needed to identify the factors contributing to these changes and develop targeted interventions to improve overall academic outcomes for the students.
