Summary:
The Tarkington Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Tarkington Elementary and Tarkington Early Childhood School. While the schools serve a predominantly White student population, they face challenges in academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates below the state average.
Both schools have high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating that the student population comes from relatively low-income households, which may impact academic performance. The data also shows a decline in Tarkington Elementary's statewide ranking, suggesting a potential decline in the school's performance over time. Interestingly, the two elementary schools within the district are quite similar in terms of demographics, test scores, and other metrics, with a lack of clear differentiation between them.
Overall, the Tarkington ISD elementary schools face challenges in academic achievement and may benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation to address these areas of concern. While the schools do not stand out as exceptional performers, the data provides valuable insights for parents and the district to identify areas for improvement and work towards enhancing the educational experience for students in the community.
