Hamlin Collegiate Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on STAAR tests, with only 20% of 3rd graders proficient in reading and 15% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 48.85% and 40.86%, respectively. The school's student population is relatively diverse, with a mix of White (43.97%), Hispanic (43.53%), and other racial/ethnic groups, which is higher than the nearby Oliver Elementary and Aspermont Elementary. However, Hamlin Collegiate Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 77.59% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.
While Hamlin Collegiate Elementary has seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $9,096 in 2018-2019 to $12,467 in 2020-2021, this has not translated into improved academic performance. The school's ranking among Texas elementary schools has dropped from 1,085 out of 4,260 in 2013-2014 (4-star rating) to 3,065 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students ranking 1,987 out of 3,106 Texas elementary schools, while Hispanic students ranked 3,843 out of 4,401. These challenges suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the root causes of its underperformance.
