Summary:
Onalaska Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Onalaska Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 712 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 76.97% of students identifying as white, and a relatively high percentage of students (70.51%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Onalaska Elementary's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's reading proficiency rates are above the state average in grades 4-6, its 3rd grade reading proficiency (43.18%) is below the state average of 48.85%. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rates are generally higher than the state averages, except for 5th grade, where the proficiency rate (40.21%) is lower than the state average of 48.96%. In 5th grade science, Onalaska Elementary's proficiency rate (21.65%) is also lower than the state average of 26.29%.
Onalaska Elementary's ranking within the state has fluctuated over the past few years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 3-star rating in the current and previous school years. This suggests that the school's performance may be inconsistent or facing challenges that impact its overall standing. However, the school's relatively high spending per student ($10,376 in 2020-2021) and low student-teacher ratio (15.3 to 1) may be positive factors that contribute to its academic performance, though further analysis would be needed to understand the direct relationship between these inputs and student outcomes.
