Elementary Schools in Dilley Independent School District (Isd)

Dilley Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Dilley Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (92.68%) and has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (84.92%), indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education.

Dilley Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently and significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 11.67% (3rd grade) to 20.97% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 48.85% (3rd grade) to 53.96% (5th grade). Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics ranged from 11.29% (5th grade) to 18.87% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 40.86% (3rd grade) to 48.96% (5th grade). This poor academic performance has led to a declining statewide ranking for the school, from 3,394 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 4,571 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,135 for the 2020-2021 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 16.2, which is slightly higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the state's standards. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement, and the school may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
