Summary:
The Yoakum Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to three elementary schools serving grades 1-5: Yoakum Intermediate, Yoakum Annex, and Yoakum Pri. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic need as indicated by the large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the three schools, Yoakum Intermediate stands out as the strongest performer academically, with higher proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade. This could be attributed to its larger enrollment, lower student-teacher ratio, and potentially more resources. In contrast, Yoakum Pri has the highest spending per student, but its academic performance is not as strong as Yoakum Intermediate.
The variation in spending per student across the three schools suggests that the Yoakum Independent School District (Isd) may be allocating resources differently based on the specific needs and characteristics of each school. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools, with a predominance of Hispanic and African American students, raises questions about equity and access to educational opportunities, which would require further analysis to understand any potential disparities in academic outcomes or resource allocation.
