Summary:
The Clint Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 6 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools are located in a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged area, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the district, Desert Hills Elementary and Montana Vista Elementary consistently perform above the district and state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and math. Red Sands Elementary also shows strong performance in these subject areas. However, the data reveals significant gaps in performance between the schools and the district/state averages, suggesting opportunities for improvement.
While Montana Vista Elementary has the highest spending per student, this does not necessarily translate to the best overall performance, indicating that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices and school leadership, play a crucial role in student outcomes. Additionally, the schools generally struggle with the Spanish versions of the STAAR tests, highlighting the need to address language barriers and provide effective instruction for Spanish-speaking students within the Clint ISD.
