Elementary Schools in Southwest Independent School District (Isd)

The Southwest Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 11 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 442 to 700 students, and serve a predominantly Hispanic student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.

Among the standout schools in the district, Southwest Elementary and Sun Valley Elementary rank highest statewide, with strong performance in STAAR/Reading and STAAR/Mathematics assessments. In contrast, schools like Spicewood Park Elementary, Hidden Cove STEAM Academy, and Bob Hope Elementary struggle significantly, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages, indicating a wide performance gap within the district.

The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools serving the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Medio Creek Elementary, Indian Creek Elementary, and Bob Hope Elementary, tending to have the lowest performance on STAAR assessments. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the performance gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Southwest ISD.
