Summary:
The city of Schulenburg, Texas is home to two schools: Schulenburg Secondary (grades 6-12) and Schulenburg Elementary (grades PK-5), both part of the Schulenburg Independent School District (Isd). While Schulenburg Secondary boasts a strong 96.6% 4-year graduation rate and low 0.5% dropout rate, Schulenburg Elementary faces challenges, with 3rd grade reading proficiency above the state average but 4th and 5th grade reading and math proficiency below.
Schulenburg Secondary stands out for its high performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in Biology, English I Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, Schulenburg Elementary serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with 73.91% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch compared to 59.85% at Schulenburg Secondary. This may contribute to the elementary school's lower academic proficiency rates and higher per-student spending of $13,162 versus $11,976 at the secondary school.
Overall, the Schulenburg schools demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. While Schulenburg Secondary excels in graduation and dropout rates, Schulenburg Elementary faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in the upper elementary grades. The district's focus on supporting all students, regardless of economic background, will be crucial in ensuring equitable educational opportunities across the Schulenburg school system.
