Summary:
The Carrizo Springs Consolidated Independent School District has only one elementary school, Carrizo Springs Elementary, which serves grades PK-3 and has a total enrollment of 598 students. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance on state assessments and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Carrizo Springs Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 96.15% of students identifying as Hispanic. The school's STAAR proficiency rates in both reading and math are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in academic performance. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 40%, compared to the state average of 50%. Similarly, the 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 32%, compared to the state average of 43%.
The high percentage of students (80.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Carrizo Springs Elementary suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school district spends $11,502 per student, which is above the state average, this may not be sufficient to address the academic challenges faced by the school. The low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 could be leveraged to provide more personalized instruction and support for students, but a comprehensive improvement plan is likely needed to address the school's performance issues.
