Summary:
The Murchison Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one school, Murchison Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 175 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (73.71%), with significant Hispanic representation (22.29%) and a small percentage of African American students (2.29%).
Academically, Murchison Elementary has a mixed performance compared to state averages. While the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rates are above the state average, its proficiency rates in higher grades and other subjects, such as mathematics, science, and social studies, are below the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, indicating a concerning trend.
Despite these academic challenges, Murchison Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 and a higher-than-average spending per student of $12,189, which could present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. However, the school's high percentage of students (65.14%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that it serves a predominantly low-income community, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
