The 77430 zip code area has only one school, Damon Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Damon Independent School District (ISD). Damon Elementary has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (57.45%) and a high percentage of students (82.98%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Academically, Damon Elementary's performance on the STAAR tests is mixed, with some grades performing above the state average in reading but generally below the state average in mathematics, science, and social studies. The school's overall performance, as measured by its SchoolDigger ranking, has been in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,082 and low student-teacher ratio of 7:1, the academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with the level of resources, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource utilization.
Damon Elementary's performance is often closely aligned with the Damon ISD district average, indicating that the school's challenges may be reflective of broader district-level factors. The data highlights several areas where Damon Elementary could focus its efforts to improve student outcomes, such as strengthening mathematics, science, and social studies instruction, and exploring strategies to better support the diverse student population.
