Summary:
The Memphis Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has two elementary schools, Austin Elementary and Travis Elementary, that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While both schools face unique challenges, the data reveals that Austin Elementary is outperforming the district and state averages in several academic areas.
Austin Elementary is a standout school, ranking 1536 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students outperforming the district and state averages in reading and mathematics on the STAAR tests. Additionally, Austin Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which may contribute to its academic success.
In contrast, Travis Elementary faces greater socioeconomic challenges, with 96% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school spends significantly more per student ($18,646) compared to Austin Elementary ($13,601), it has a higher student-teacher ratio of 17.4, which may impact the level of individual attention students receive. Despite the higher spending, Travis Elementary does not appear to be outperforming the district and state averages in the same way as Austin Elementary.
