Neidig Elementary faces several challenges, including a high-needs student population, declining academic performance, and significant disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (64.77%) compared to the state average, and its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 39.81% of 3rd graders and 42.31% of 4th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 48.85% and 50.66%, respectively. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and multi-racial students performing relatively better, while African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students perform significantly worse.
Despite the higher spending per student at Neidig Elementary ($10,713 in 2020-2021), the school's academic performance remains below average, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The school's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Booker T. Washington Elementary and Elgin Elementary, which are also part of the Elgin Independent School District and have similar demographic profiles but slightly better academic outcomes. Addressing the challenges at Neidig Elementary will require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding, and may involve targeted interventions, improved resource allocation, and a focus on equity and inclusion.
