Summary:
Tom Bean Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has one elementary school, Tom Bean Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 319 students. The school appears to be a relatively strong-performing institution within its district and the state, with test scores generally exceeding district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 566th out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,842nd out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to maintain its previous level of performance.
Tom Bean Elementary has a diverse student population, with 77.12% White, 16.93% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. The school also spends more per student, at $10,013 per student for the 2020-2021 school year, than the state average. However, despite the higher spending, the school's performance on some STAAR tests, such as 4th-grade reading, is below the state average, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices.
The school's 4th-grade reading scores are particularly low, with only 25.49% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 50.66% statewide. This could be an area of concern that the school should investigate and address. Additionally, the data does not provide information on the academic performance of different racial/ethnic groups, which could reveal achievement gaps that the school should address to ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
