Best Public Schools in Zip Code 77518

Summary:

The 77518 zip code in Texas is home to a single elementary school, Kenneth E Little Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Dickinson Independent School District (ISD). While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges that are reflected in its low state-wide ranking and poor performance on standardized tests.

Kenneth E Little Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population (64.81%), with a high percentage (87.5%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR Reading and Math tests are significantly below the district and state averages, ranging from 23% to 35% proficient compared to 39% to 50% for the district and state. Despite the school's slightly above-average per-student spending, it has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and ranks in the bottom 15% of Texas elementary schools.

These findings suggest that addressing the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by Kenneth E Little Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique needs of the student population and the effective allocation of resources to support student learning and achievement. Strategies that focus on improving teaching quality, implementing targeted interventions, and addressing the root causes of economic disadvantage may be necessary to help the school improve its performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
