Elementary Schools in Hale Center Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The Hale Center Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has one elementary school, Akin Elementary, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has a relatively small student population of 248, with a high percentage (80.24%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student demographic.

Academically, Akin Elementary's performance on the STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests in reading and mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades is consistently lower than the state averages. In 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was 40.48%, compared to the state's 48.85%, and the 4th-grade reading proficiency rate was 25.71%, compared to the state's 50.66%. In mathematics, the 3rd-grade proficiency rate was 38.1%, compared to the state's 40.86%, and the 4th-grade rate was 34.29%, compared to the state's 44.67%. Despite the school's higher per-student spending ($10,466) and smaller class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 11.3), the academic underperformance suggests challenges in effectively allocating resources to support student learning.

While Akin Elementary is the only elementary school in the Hale Center Independent School District (Isd), the data highlights opportunities for improvement in the school's academic performance, particularly in reading and mathematics. By identifying the root causes of the underperformance and implementing targeted interventions and strategies, the school and district can work towards providing a more equitable and effective education for all students.
