Summary:
The city of Niederwald, Texas has only one elementary school, Camino Real Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 93.48% of students identifying as Hispanic. Academically, Camino Real Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and science falling significantly below the Hays Consolidated Independent School District and Texas state averages.
The school's high percentage of students (76.21%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that it serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to its academic challenges. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, the school's performance on STAAR assessments remains consistently below district and state levels across multiple subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that factors beyond just class size, such as curriculum, instruction, or school leadership, may need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.
Overall, the data highlights the need for a comprehensive improvement plan to address the academic struggles at Camino Real Elementary. By identifying the root causes of the school's underperformance and implementing targeted interventions, the Hays Consolidated Independent School District has an opportunity to provide a higher-quality education for the students of Niederwald.
