Summary:
The Gladewater Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Weldon Elementary and Gladewater Pri. Both schools serve students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with high free and reduced lunch rates of 77.88% and 89.92%, respectively.
Academically, the elementary schools in Gladewater ISD are underperforming compared to state averages. Weldon Elementary has consistently lower STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects, with only 37.25% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 53.96%. Gladewater Pri does not have any reported STAAR test scores, as it only serves grades PK-1.
Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, ranging from $9,355 to $9,800, the academic performance remains below state standards. The smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 14:1 at Weldon Elementary and 11:1 at Gladewater Pri, do not appear to be driving better outcomes. The data suggests that the Gladewater Independent School District (Isd) faces significant challenges in improving the educational outcomes for its elementary school students.
