Summary:
The Simms Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, James Bowie Elementary. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and has a predominantly white student population, with over 91% of students identifying as white. The school's performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the top 25% and bottom 50% of Texas elementary schools in recent years.
Academically, James Bowie Elementary's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in 5th-grade science. However, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate is higher than the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and per-student spending that is above the state average, suggesting that it has access to significant financial and human resources.
Overall, the analysis of the data set suggests that James Bowie Elementary has both strengths and areas for improvement. The school's fluctuating performance, mixed academic results, demographic homogeneity, and high economic disadvantage among the student population present both challenges and opportunities for the school and the Simms Independent School District (Isd) to address in order to support the success of all students.
