Summary:
The Channelview Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and high rates of economic disadvantage across the district.
Among the elementary schools, B H Hamblen Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 40% of Texas elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in several STAAR test subjects and grade levels, particularly in reading and mathematics. In contrast, while McGhee Elementary has shown improvement over the past 3 years, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating, the other schools in the district struggle to meet the district and state benchmarks on STAAR assessments.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among the schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and student-teacher ratios may be contributing to the differences in outcomes. The high percentages of economically disadvantaged students across the Channelview ISD indicate that the district faces challenges in supporting this population, which may be a contributing factor to the overall lower performance of some schools compared to the state averages. However, the data also shows that with targeted interventions and support, schools like McGhee Elementary can improve over time, providing hope for the district's ability to address these disparities and ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
