Summary:
The Giddings Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools, Giddings Elementary and Giddings Intermediate, serving grades PK-3 and 4-5, respectively. These schools serve a diverse student population, with Giddings Elementary having a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to the district and state averages.
While both schools have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population, Giddings Intermediate has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 2917 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2291 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, both schools have test scores in reading, math, and science that are below the state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
The Giddings ISD elementary schools also have lower student-teacher ratios compared to the state average, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the data does not indicate whether this is translating into improved academic achievement. Overall, the data highlights both strengths and areas for improvement within the Giddings ISD elementary schools, and addressing the achievement gaps, supporting economically disadvantaged students, and building on the positive trends at Giddings Intermediate could be key focus areas for the district to improve student outcomes.
