Summary:
The Iraan-Sheffield Collegiate Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Iraan Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Despite the district's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, Iraan Elementary has consistently performed poorly on state assessments, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past three years.
Iraan Elementary's academic struggles are particularly concerning given its diverse student population, with 68.35% Hispanic and 29.11% White students, as well as a high rate of 63.29% free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, suggesting that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
The challenges facing Iraan Elementary appear to be systemic, as the Iraan-Sheffield Collegiate ISD is ranked 772 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district as a whole may be facing significant resource and performance issues, which could be contributing to the academic struggles of Iraan Elementary. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the poor student outcomes and provides targeted interventions and support at both the school and district levels.
