Summary:
The Hemphill Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Hemphill Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 334 students. The school faces some academic and socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low performance and ranking compared to other Texas elementary schools.
Hemphill Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR proficiency rates, is generally below the state averages in both reading and math, with particularly significant gaps in 3rd and 4th grade math. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 65.57% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic struggles and its consistently low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years.
Despite the challenges, Hemphill Elementary has some bright spots, such as its 3rd grade reading proficiency rate slightly exceeding the state average. However, the school's overall performance and ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools indicate that there is room for improvement. Targeted interventions and support tailored to the school's specific needs, such as addressing the math proficiency gap and providing additional resources for economically disadvantaged students, could be beneficial in driving better outcomes for the students of Hemphill Elementary.
