Summary:
The city of Vinton, Texas has only one school, Bill Childress Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Canutillo Independent School District (ISD). The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (97.51%) and a high percentage of students (77.31%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Academically, Bill Childress Elementary's STAAR test scores are generally below the Canutillo ISD and Texas state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency (46.81%) was lower than the district (48.23%) and state (48.85%) averages, and the school's 5th grade science proficiency (20.41%) was significantly lower than the district (27.36%) and state (26.29%) averages. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments was mixed, with some grades performing better than the district and state, while others lagged behind.
Despite the school's academic underperformance, it has a relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.9, which is slightly lower than the national average of 16:1. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $13,560, which is higher than the national average but lower than some high-performing districts. These factors suggest that the school may have opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help improve academic outcomes, especially for its predominantly Hispanic student population facing socioeconomic challenges.
