Summary:
The Munday Consolidated Independent School District in Texas operates two schools: Munday Elementary and Munday Secondary. While both schools serve the same community, the data reveals a notable disparity in their academic performance and resource allocation.
Munday Elementary stands out as the district's academic powerhouse, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school's STAAR test scores significantly exceed state averages across multiple grade levels and subjects, and its low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 likely contributes to its strong performance. In contrast, Munday Secondary has not achieved the same level of academic success, with rankings in the middle of Texas high schools and STAAR scores closer to or below state averages.
Despite Munday Secondary spending significantly more per student ($16,999) compared to Munday Elementary ($11,410), this additional funding does not appear to translate into stronger academic outcomes. The district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and spending priorities to ensure equitable support for both schools. Additionally, the demographic differences between the schools, with Munday Secondary serving a higher proportion of Hispanic students, could be an area to explore further in terms of understanding any potential impacts on academic performance and resource needs.
