Summary:
The San Saba Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, San Saba Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (60.88%) and low-income, with 74.15% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
While San Saba Elementary's academic performance in 3rd and 4th grade reading and math proficiency rates was below the state averages in the 2023-2024 school year, the school did show some strengths, such as a 4th grade math proficiency rate of 63% in the 2022-2023 school year, which was higher than the state average of 47%. However, the school's performance has declined, with the 3rd grade reading proficiency rate dropping from 43% to 27.91% over the past year, well below the state average.
The school district's spending per student is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio at San Saba Elementary is 11:1, which is lower than the state average, indicating a relatively high level of resources dedicated to student instruction. However, the declining academic performance raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of these resource allocations, and whether they are being directed towards the most impactful interventions and strategies to address the school's challenges, particularly the high poverty rate among its student population.
