Summary:
The 75166 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Nesmith Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Community Independent School District (ISD). While Nesmith Elementary has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the Community ISD and state averages, particularly in math and science.
Nesmith Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students (43.62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic need among the student population. This may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of these students. Additionally, Nesmith Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 1,894 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2,719 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2 stars.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which is slightly lower than the state average, Nesmith Elementary's academic performance suggests that simply having adequate staffing resources may not be enough to ensure student success. The school district and community may need to focus on other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and targeted interventions, to improve student outcomes at Nesmith Elementary.
