The school's student population is predominantly White (77.01%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (17.65%), African American (1.07%), and students of two or more races (4.28%).
Boles Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with fluctuating STAAR test proficiency rates compared to the state average. In 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency (29.03%) was significantly lower than the state average (48.85%), while their 4th-grade reading proficiency (51.61%) was slightly higher. In mathematics, Boles Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency (32.26%) and 4th-grade proficiency (32.26%) were both lower than the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also varied, ranging from 1654 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 3109 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, with a SchoolDigger rating of 3 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 and 2 stars out of 5 in the other two years.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,108 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.7, Boles Elementary serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 63.1% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may need targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of its student body and improve academic outcomes consistently across grade levels and subjects.
