Summary:
Lost Pines Elementary is a public elementary school in Bastrop, Texas, serving 696 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Bastrop Independent School District, which is ranked 824 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Lost Pines Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (84.05%) compared to nearby schools, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 3,118 and 4,303 out of 4,647 to 4,675 schools over the past several years. This poor academic performance extends across various student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile for female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs. The only subgroup that performs relatively better is White students, who rank in the middle quartile. Lost Pines Elementary's STAAR test scores are also significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Interestingly, while Lost Pines Elementary has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, from $8,846 in 2018-2019 to $11,610 in 2020-2021, this increased funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes. When compared to nearby schools, such as Mina Elementary, which is part of the same district, Lost Pines Elementary is clearly underperforming, with significantly lower STAAR test scores and a lower statewide ranking. Unfortunately, the school has not shown any consistent improvement in its statewide ranking or academic performance over the past several years, remaining in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.
