Summary:
The Del Valle Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools are located in a diverse, economically disadvantaged area and face significant challenges in meeting state performance standards.
Among the standout schools in the district, Smith Elementary emerges as the highest-performing, ranking 1,729 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Smith Elementary boasts the strongest proficiency rates in reading, math, and science compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. Newton Collins Elementary is the second-highest ranked, placing 2,351 out of 4,675 schools and receiving a 2-star rating, with strong performance in reading and math. Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary stands out for its relatively high reading proficiency rates, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the state averages, as well as between the schools and the Del Valle ISD averages, in reading, math, and science proficiency. This suggests that the district as a whole is struggling to meet state-level performance standards. However, the variation in school performance indicates that there may be opportunities to learn from the successful practices of the higher-performing schools and implement targeted interventions to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students across the district.
