Summary:
The city of Karnack, Texas is home to a single school, George Washington Carver Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 130 students. The school is the only institution in the Karnack Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 840 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
George Washington Carver Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's STAAR test scores are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and it has a high percentage of students (89.23%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance remains poor, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes.
The school's diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students, suggests that it may face challenges in addressing the unique needs of its diverse learners. Without additional data on other schools in the Karnack ISD or the surrounding region, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons to identify potential best practices or areas for improvement. However, the analysis reveals a struggling institution with consistently low academic performance, high levels of economic disadvantage, and potential challenges in supporting the success of its diverse student population.
