Summary:
The Ennis Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 8 elementary schools serving students from Pre-K through 5th grade. These schools serve a diverse, predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the district as a whole ranks 559 out of 968 elementary schools in Texas, a few standout schools within the district are worth highlighting.
Dorie Miller Intermediate is the highest-performing elementary school in the district, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools for the past 3 years. It boasts the highest percentage of 4th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Math (66.34%) compared to the district and state averages. Austin Elementary also stands out, with the highest percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading (57%), significantly outperforming the district and state.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among the elementary schools, with some schools like Travis Elementary, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.9, performing relatively well on STAAR tests. By identifying and sharing best practices from the higher-performing schools, the Ennis ISD can work to address these disparities and improve overall academic achievement across the district.
