Damon Independent School District (Isd)

Damon Independent School District (ISD) is a small school district in Texas that serves the community of Damon. The district has only one school, Damon Elementary, which provides education for students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. Damon Elementary has a total enrollment of 94 students, with a predominantly Hispanic student population (57.45%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (82.98%).

Academically, Damon Elementary's performance on the STAAR tests is mixed compared to state averages. While some grade levels perform above the state average in reading, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are significantly below the state average across most grades. This trend is also reflected in the school's overall statewide ranking, which has fluctuated between the 3,060th and 3,717th position out of over 4,600 Texas elementary schools in recent years, earning a 2-star rating. Despite these academic challenges, Damon Elementary has a low student-teacher ratio of 7:1 and spends more per student ($15,082) than the state average, suggesting a focus on providing individualized attention and resources to support student learning.

The academic performance and socioeconomic challenges faced by Damon Elementary are likely reflective of broader issues within the Damon Independent School District (ISD), which is also rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. To address these concerns, the district and school may need to implement targeted interventions and allocate additional resources to support the unique needs of the student population, particularly in the area of mathematics instruction and addressing the impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning.
