Summary:
The Pampa Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data analysis reveals significant performance disparities among these schools, with Travis Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.
Travis Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in STAAR reading and math proficiency, and it has the highest ranking (2182 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools) and SchoolDigger star rating (3 out of 5) among the 4 schools. In contrast, Lamar Elementary and Wilson Elementary have struggled with STAAR test scores, often performing significantly below the district and state averages. These two schools also have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
The overall low ranking of the Pampa Independent School District (747 out of 968 in Texas) and its 1-star rating suggest that the district may face systemic challenges that impact the performance of its schools. The data analysis also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the schools with higher proportions of economically disadvantaged students tend to have lower test scores and rankings.
