Summary:
The Hondo Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Meyer Elementary and Newell E. Woolls Intermediate. Both schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with a significant white student presence as well. However, the schools face common challenges, including high rates of students eligible for free and reduced lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges within the district.
Academically, the data reveals that Newell E. Woolls Intermediate is performing below the state average on standardized tests, particularly in reading and math. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, further highlighting the academic performance concerns. In contrast, the data does not indicate any clear standout schools within the Hondo ISD, as both elementary schools appear to be relatively average in their performance and characteristics.
The difference in spending per student between the two schools may suggest potential disparities in resource allocation within the district. This, coupled with the socioeconomic challenges and academic performance issues, highlights the need for the Hondo ISD to investigate the factors contributing to these challenges and implement targeted interventions to support student success across all its elementary schools.
