Summary:
The Saint Jo Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Saint Jo Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 196 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 87.24% of students identifying as white, and a significant percentage (43.88%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Saint Jo Elementary has shown a mixed performance on STAAR tests compared to state averages. The school outperformed the state in some grade levels and subjects, such as 3rd grade reading, 5th grade reading, and 6th grade reading, but underperformed in others, like 4th grade reading and 3rd and 4th grade mathematics. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the past few years, ranking 1578 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools in 2023-2024 (3 out of 5 stars), 934 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023 (4 out of 5 stars), and 1331 out of 4,581 in 2021-2022 (4 out of 5 stars).
In terms of resources, Saint Jo Elementary has a spending per student of $9,930 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9, suggesting adequate funding and resources. However, the school's lack of racial diversity and the need for a closer examination of its curriculum, teaching methods, and support systems to address the areas of academic underperformance may be areas for the district to consider addressing to ensure the best possible educational outcomes for its students.
