Summary:
The 78152 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Tradition Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the East Central Independent School District (ISD). Despite serving a diverse student population, Tradition Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and received a 1-star rating, indicating significant academic challenges.
The school's STAAR proficiency rates in reading, math, and science are substantially lower than the state and district averages, with only 25.34% of 3rd-graders proficient in reading and just 14.38% proficient in math. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 50.65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may be facing resource constraints, as its per-student spending is below the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the recommended range.
Overall, the data highlights the significant academic and resource challenges faced by Tradition Elementary, which serves a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, additional funding and resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning outcomes to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
