Summary:
The Friona Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Friona Elementary and Friona Pri. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are located in the predominantly Hispanic community of Friona.
Unfortunately, neither Friona Elementary nor Friona Pri are standout performers. Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools, with 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Their proficiency rates on STAAR tests are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 20% of 3rd graders at Friona Elementary meeting reading proficiency standards, compared to the state average of 48.85%.
Despite relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance of these schools remains poor. This suggests that the Friona Independent School District needs to closely examine its resource allocation and develop a comprehensive plan to address the systemic challenges faced by these underperforming schools, focusing on improving educational outcomes and providing equitable opportunities for all students.
