Summary:
Marlin Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Marlin Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance is concerning, with significantly below-average test scores and a declining statewide ranking over the past few years.
Marlin Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of African American and Hispanic students, as well as a very high rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (99.37%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's STAAR test scores are consistently well below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from just 8.47% in 3rd-grade reading to 49.25% in 5th-grade mathematics, compared to state averages of 48.85% and 68.85%, respectively.
Despite the high spending per student of $14,065, which is above the state average, Marlin Elementary's academic performance remains poor. The school's statewide ranking has dropped significantly, from 3,942 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 4,260 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance is declining relative to other schools in the state. These findings indicate that significant interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable educational opportunities for the Marlin Independent School District (Isd) community.
