Summary:
Damon Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Damon Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 94 students. The school's diverse student population includes 30.85% White, 2.13% African American, 57.45% Hispanic, 2.13% Asian, 3.19% two or more races, and 4.26% Pacific Islander students.
Damon Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently below the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. In reading, the school's proficiency rates range from 28.57% to 71.43%, compared to the state averages of 50.66% to 54.09%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 10% to 57.14%, compared to the state averages of 31.89% to 44.67%. The school's science and social studies proficiency rates are also lower than the state averages. Additionally, Damon ISD is ranked 609 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's high percentage of students (82.98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need, and its low student-teacher ratio of 7:1, the investment in resources does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This suggests that the challenges faced by Damon Elementary may be reflective of broader systemic issues within the Damon ISD district, and further investigation into the root causes of the school's underperformance, as well as targeted interventions and support, may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
