Summary:
Latexo Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Latexo Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's student population is predominantly White (70.47%) with a significant Hispanic representation (24.16%), and a high percentage of students (59.73%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage.
Latexo Elementary's academic performance is a concern, as its 3rd-6th grade proficiency rates in reading and mathematics are consistently lower than the state averages, and its 5th-grade science proficiency rate is only 7.32%, significantly below the state average of 26.29%. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools for the past three years, with a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting a persistent pattern of underperformance compared to other schools in the state.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5, which may indicate smaller class sizes, the data suggests that Latexo Elementary is facing significant academic challenges, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, and the district should consider targeted interventions and strategies to address the root causes of the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
