Summary:
The city of Uhland, Texas is home to a single elementary school, Uhland Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Hays Consolidated Independent School District. Uhland Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 97% of students identifying as Hispanic, and faces challenges in academic performance, with STAAR test scores consistently lower than district and state averages.
Uhland Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 39.29%, compared to the district's 52.26% and the state's 48.85%. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 3750 out of 4581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 4142 out of 4647 in 2022-2023, with a current ranking of 3066 out of 4675 for the 2023-2024 school year and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Uhland Elementary also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students (86.51%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $9,962, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 13.7 for the 2022-2023 school year. These factors may contribute to the school's academic underperformance and suggest opportunities for improvement in areas such as curriculum, teaching practices, and targeted interventions to support student learning.
