Summary:
The Silsbee Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Silsbee Elementary and Laura Reeves Pri. Silsbee Elementary is the larger of the two, with 1,017 students, while Laura Reeves Pri focuses on pre-kindergarten and kindergarten grades with 308 students.
Silsbee Elementary has a slightly more diverse student population, with 66.18% White, 16.62% African American, and 9.44% Hispanic students, compared to Laura Reeves Pri's 67.86% White and 20.13% African American student body. However, Laura Reeves Pri has a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 78.57%, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population, compared to Silsbee Elementary's 67.75%. Despite the higher spending per student at Laura Reeves Pri ($12,596 vs. $10,015 at Silsbee Elementary), both schools perform significantly below the state average on STAAR tests, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be influencing student achievement.
Overall, the analysis of the Silsbee ISD elementary schools reveals potential areas for improvement in academic performance, as well as possible equity concerns within the district. The differences in racial makeup and economic status between the two schools may indicate the need for further investigation into ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in the Silsbee Independent School District (Isd).
