Summary:
The city of Munday, Texas is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through secondary grades: Munday Elementary and Munday Secondary, which are part of the Munday Consolidated Independent School District. These schools demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and socioeconomic challenges, with both institutions showing impressive achievements in certain areas.
Munday Elementary stands out for its consistently high performance on STAAR reading and math assessments, often exceeding state averages. The school is particularly strong in 5th grade STAAR Science, with 54.55% proficiency compared to the state average of 26.29%. Additionally, Munday Elementary benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Munday Secondary impresses with its 100% four-year graduation rate and low 0.7% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages.
However, both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 57.87% and 61.14% respectively. This suggests the community served by these schools may require additional resources and support. While Munday Secondary spends more per student at $16,999, compared to Munday Elementary's $11,410 per student, the data indicates that there is room for collaboration and sharing of best practices between the two schools to address the needs of their student populations.
