Summary:
The Lytle Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Lytle Elementary and Lytle Primary School. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 84% of students identifying as Hispanic at both campuses.
Unfortunately, the academic performance of these schools is a cause for concern. Both Lytle Elementary and Lytle Primary School significantly trail the state average on STAAR test scores in reading, mathematics, and science across multiple grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade reading, Lytle Elementary scored just 31.93% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The performance gap is even more pronounced in mathematics, with both schools scoring around 20% proficient or better in 3rd and 4th grades, while the state averages range from 40.86% to 44.67%.
The high poverty levels in the district, with over 70% of students at both schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student ($10,126 at Lytle Elementary and $10,825 at Lytle Primary School) coupled with the low performance suggests potential issues with the efficient allocation of resources or the effectiveness of the district's educational strategies.
