Summary:
The Webb Consolidated Independent School District in Texas has only one elementary school, Oilton Elementary, which serves a predominantly Hispanic student population. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, its academic performance on state assessments is consistently below the state average, particularly in reading and mathematics.
Oilton Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 2,245 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 4,274 out of 4,581 in 2021-2022. This instability in performance and recognition may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed. Additionally, a significant portion (73.15%) of Oilton Elementary's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's resource allocation, the discrepancy between its funding and academic outcomes suggests the need for a deeper investigation into the underlying factors that contribute to Oilton Elementary's performance. Targeted interventions and strategies to address the school's academic challenges and support the diverse needs of its student population may be necessary to improve educational outcomes and provide a high-quality learning environment for the community.
