Summary:
The Stamford Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Oliver Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's student population is diverse, with a majority of Hispanic students and a significant percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the high rate of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Oliver Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR assessments, is generally lower than the state averages in reading, math, and science. The school's reading proficiency rates range from 40% to 52.94%, while the math proficiency rates are even lower, ranging from 21.62% to 50.98%. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is also below the state average at 19.61%. This declining performance has led to a drop in the school's statewide ranking over the past few years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning, particularly in mathematics and science.
Despite the challenges faced by Oliver Elementary, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.9 is lower than the state average, indicating a relatively small class size that could potentially be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students. However, the school's high percentage of low-income students and the district-level factors that may be influencing its academic outcomes suggest that the school and the district as a whole may benefit from additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the community and improve educational outcomes for all students.
