Summary:
The city of Olton, Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Olton Independent School District (Isd). While the schools share some similarities, the data reveals distinct differences in their performance and resources.
Hp Webb Elementary stands out as the largest school with 282 students, and it outperforms the district and state on 3rd and 5th grade STAAR Reading and Math exams, despite having a majority Hispanic student population and a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, Olton J H struggles with STAAR Math, with proficiency rates well below the state average. The high school, Olton High School, is the standout performer, with a 100% 4-year graduation rate, 0% dropout rate, and better-than-average performance on some STAAR EOC exams.
The data also reveals significant differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the three schools, suggesting the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure more equitable distribution. Overall, the schools in Olton, Texas present a mixed picture, with both strengths and areas for improvement, providing valuable insights for the district to enhance educational outcomes for all students.
