Summary:
The Fannindel Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Fannindel Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance and student demographics paint a concerning picture, with consistently low academic achievement and a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Fannindel Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating out of 5. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in reading ranges from 0% (3rd grade) to 44.44% (6th grade), compared to the state averages of 48.85% to 54.45%. The school's performance in mathematics is also well below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% (4th grade) to 20% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 40.86% to 48.96%.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $15,379 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.7, which raises questions about the effective use of resources and the need to examine the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems. Additionally, the Fannindel Independent School District is ranked 935 out of 968 districts in Texas, suggesting that the challenges faced by Fannindel Elementary may be reflective of broader systemic issues within the district that need to be addressed.
