Summary:
Snook Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Snook Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment scores, is consistently below the Texas state averages in reading, math, and science. Snook Elementary's ranking on the SchoolDigger platform has also declined over the past three years, from a 3-star rating to a 2-star rating, indicating that the school's performance is not keeping pace with other elementary schools in the state.
One potential factor contributing to Snook Elementary's academic challenges is the socioeconomic status of its student population. The school has a high percentage (69.73%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively low-income student body. This demographic factor may play a role in the school's academic performance and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
Despite the academic concerns, Snook Elementary's spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was $12,422, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a student-teacher ratio of 14.5, which is slightly lower than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and student support to raise student achievement, rather than simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes.
