Summary:
The Temple Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the schools exhibit varying levels of academic performance and resource allocation, a few standout institutions emerge from the data.
Kennedy-Powell Elementary and Scott Elementary are the highest-ranked schools in the district, earning 3-star and 2-star ratings, respectively, from SchoolDigger. These schools boast strong academic outcomes, with reading and math proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, Hector P. Garcia Elementary and Cater Elementary lag behind, potentially due to their higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data also reveals a wide range of student demographics across the Temple ISD elementary schools, with the percentage of Hispanic students ranging from 35.1% to 78.26% and the percentage of White students ranging from 7.55% to 32.81%. While the analysis does not indicate a direct relationship between racial diversity and academic success, the standout schools tend to have more balanced racial compositions. Additionally, the schools with higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, such as Kennedy-Powell Elementary and Western Hills Elementary, generally demonstrate stronger academic outcomes, underscoring the importance of adequate funding and resources.
