Summary:
The Ranger Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Ranger Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. With a total enrollment of 157 students, Ranger Elementary faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low performance on state assessments and declining statewide ranking over the past three years.
Ranger Elementary's student population is predominantly White (75.8%) with a sizable Hispanic minority (21.66%), and a high percentage (77.07%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's STAAR test scores are well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from just 8.7% in 3rd-grade Reading and Mathematics to 30% in 5th-grade Reading and 25% in 5th-grade Mathematics, compared to state averages of 48.85% to 53.96% in Reading and 40.86% to 48.96% in Mathematics.
Despite the school's academic struggles, Ranger Elementary has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.3, which could suggest a focus on providing more individualized attention to students. However, this factor alone has not been sufficient to overcome the school's broader challenges, as evidenced by its 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 4557 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, a significant decline from its ranking of 3390 out of 4581 schools in 2021-2022.
