Summary:
Alba-Golden Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has a single elementary school, Alba-Golden Elementary, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has consistently fallen below the state average on STAAR tests, particularly in mathematics and science, despite relatively small class sizes and higher-than-average spending per student.
Alba-Golden Elementary has a student population of 404, with a racial makeup of 83.42% White, 12.13% Hispanic, and 4.21% two or more races. The school has a high percentage of students (63.37%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a larger proportion of students from low-income families. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as students from disadvantaged backgrounds often face additional obstacles to learning.
Despite the school's efforts, Alba-Golden ISD has not been able to significantly improve Alba-Golden Elementary's performance over the past three years, as evidenced by its consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district and school leadership may need to develop a comprehensive plan for continuous improvement, focusing on targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the specific areas where students are struggling the most.
