Summary:
The Beaumont Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 14 elementary schools serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the schools vary in size, student demographics, and academic performance, the data reveals both areas of concern and pockets of success within the district.
At the top of the district's elementary schools is Regina Howell Elementary, which ranks in the top 40% of Texas elementary schools and significantly outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR reading, math, and science tests. Curtis Elementary and Fletcher Elementary also stand out, with diverse student populations and above-average academic results compared to the district. In contrast, schools like Pietzsch/Mac Arthur Elementary and Dr. Mae E. Jones-Clark Elementary struggle significantly, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools serving the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students tending to have the lowest test scores. This suggests systemic inequities that the Beaumont ISD will need to address to improve educational opportunities for all students. However, the strong performance of schools like Regina Howell and Curtis demonstrates that students in this district can achieve at high levels when provided the right resources and support.
