Summary:
Murchison, Texas is home to a single school, Murchison Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 175 students. The school is part of the Murchison Independent School District (ISD) and has a predominantly White student population (73.71%), with significant Hispanic representation (22.29%) and a small percentage of African American students (2.29%).
Murchison Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing between 3,092 and 3,702 out of 4,581 to 4,675 Texas elementary schools over the past three school years, and a 1 or 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is mixed, with stronger results in 3rd grade reading (up to 77.78% proficient) but weaker performance in science and social studies (5% to 33.33% proficient). However, the school has a 0.0% dropout rate and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, which could be a strength.
A significant portion (65.14%) of Murchison Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school spends $12,189 per student, which is above the state average, potentially indicating a focus on supporting these economically disadvantaged students. Overall, the data suggests that Murchison Elementary faces some challenges in terms of academic performance and overall school quality, but also has some positive attributes, such as a low student-teacher ratio and a focus on supporting economically disadvantaged students.
