Summary:
The 76905 zip code area of San Angelo, Texas is home to two struggling elementary schools, Holiman Elementary and Belaire Elementary, both part of the San Angelo Independent School District (ISD). These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage, and struggle with low test scores, poor rankings, and low ratings compared to other Texas elementary schools.
Holiman Elementary and Belaire Elementary both have significantly lower test scores across all grade levels and subject areas compared to the San Angelo ISD and Texas state averages. For example, Holiman Elementary's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 47.06%, while Belaire Elementary's was only 13.51%, far below the district and state averages. These low-performing schools are ranked 3553 and 4617 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools, respectively, with Belaire Elementary receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at both schools, 62.33% at Holiman Elementary and 71.68% at Belaire Elementary, indicate that the student population is predominantly from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor likely plays a significant role in the schools' academic struggles. Additionally, the relatively low spending per student, $7,846 at Holiman Elementary and $9,082 at Belaire Elementary, may contribute to the schools' challenges in providing a quality education to their students.
