Summary:
Overton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Overton Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been mixed, with some strengths in 4th-grade mathematics but struggles in 5th-grade science. Overton Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning.
Academically, Overton Elementary's STAAR test scores are somewhat below the state averages in 3rd-grade reading and 5th-grade mathematics, but the school performs better than the state in 5th-grade reading. However, the school's ranking has dropped significantly in recent years, from 1314 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2716 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023, suggesting a decline in overall academic achievement.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and smaller class sizes, the uneven academic performance across grade levels and subject areas raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the district's resource allocation. The Overton Independent School District and Overton Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and curriculum improvements to address the school's declining performance and support the diverse needs of its student population.
