Summary:
The Greenville Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation, highlighting both the strengths and challenges within the district.
The standout school in the district is Katherine G. Johnson STEM Academy, which boasts the highest statewide ranking, the strongest proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio. Another high-performing school is Bowie Elementary, which has the largest enrollment and also demonstrates above-average academic performance. In contrast, Carver Elementary and Crockett Elementary struggle to meet state averages, with lower proficiency rates and higher rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and student achievement, as the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower academic proficiency. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $3,732 at Katherine G. Johnson STEM Academy to $15,556 at Crockett Elementary, raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and its impact on student outcomes. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the performance gaps between the schools within the Greenville ISD.
