Summary:
The Ector Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Ector Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Despite having relatively favorable financial and staffing resources, Ector Elementary is underperforming academically compared to state and district averages.
Ector Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing between 2,813 and 3,831 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools over the past three school years. The school's performance rating by SchoolDigger is only 2 out of 5 stars for the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, and 1 out of 5 stars for 2021-2022. In STAAR testing, the school's proficiency rates are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. This suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly White (80.36%) student population, of which 64.29% are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's financial and staffing resources, as evidenced by the per-student spending of $10,111 (slightly higher than the state average) and a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, the academic performance data indicates that these resources are not being effectively translated into improved student outcomes. The Ector Independent School District and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the root causes of the school's academic challenges and better support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
