Summary:

The school is part of the Beaumont Independent School District, which is ranked 869 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Martin Elementary has a predominantly African American student population, with 81.48% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year.
Despite having a relatively high per-student spending ranging from $8,358 to $10,147 over the past three school years, Martin Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas, with a statewide ranking between 4,117 and 4,623 out of approximately 4,675 elementary schools over the past decade. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. When compared to nearby schools within the Beaumont Independent School District, such as Blanchette Elementary, Fehl-Price Elementary, and Caldwood Elementary, Martin Elementary performs significantly worse, with lower academic proficiency rates and worse statewide rankings.
The extremely high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Martin Elementary, ranging from 97.33% to 98.22% over the past three school years, likely contributes to the school's persistent low performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional challenges in academic achievement. The consistently low performance of Martin Elementary, particularly for its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner student populations, suggests a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of these student subgroups.
