Summary:
The Bowie Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools that serve students from different grade levels. Bowie Elementary serves the lower grades (PK-2) with a larger student population of 422, while Bowie Intermediate serves the upper elementary grades (3-5) with a smaller student population of 362.
Bowie Elementary stands out with a relatively high percentage of white students (73.46%) and a significant percentage of Hispanic students (22.27%). The school also has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 65.4%, indicating a large proportion of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Bowie Intermediate has a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 59.94%. However, Bowie Intermediate's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average in reading, math, and science, with the school's 5th-grade science performance being particularly low at only 18.25% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 26.29%.
Despite the disparity in academic performance, both schools have a favorable student-teacher ratio, with Bowie Elementary at 11.7 and Bowie Intermediate at a similar level. This suggests that the schools may have the resources to provide more personalized attention to students. However, the high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools indicate that a significant portion of the student population may face economic challenges, which could impact their academic outcomes. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these challenges and improve learning outcomes for all students in the Bowie Independent School District (Isd).
