Summary:
The Walnut Bend Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one school, Walnut Bend Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is struggling, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking of 4163 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools for the 2022-2023 school year.
Walnut Bend Elementary has a total enrollment of just 54 students, with a high percentage (90.74%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state average in both reading and mathematics, with only 27% to 38% of students proficient or better in reading and 9% to 33% proficient or better in mathematics across grades 3, 4, and 6.
Despite the school's small size and low student-to-teacher ratio of 8, it has been unable to provide a high-quality education to its students. The school's statewide ranking has been declining over the past three school years, suggesting that it is not keeping pace with other schools in the state. Addressing the challenges faced by Walnut Bend Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving the quality of education provided to the students.
