Summary

Agua Dulce Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Agua Dulce Independent School District (ISD) in Texas. The school has 169 students and is located in Agua Dulce, TX. While the Agua Dulce ISD is ranked 453 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, Agua Dulce Elementary has had a mixed performance on STAAR tests, with strong reading scores but lagging math and science results.

Agua Dulce Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, $11,276 in 2020-2021, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1. However, these resources do not seem to be translating into stronger academic performance. The school's STAAR test scores, particularly in math and science, are generally lower than those of nearby schools like Banquete Elementary and schools in the Alice ISD. Additionally, Agua Dulce Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may be contributing to the challenges the school faces.

To address these issues, the school and district may want to consider implementing targeted interventions and support programs, analyzing the curriculum and instructional practices, and collaborating with nearby high-performing schools to learn from their best practices. By making data-driven decisions and continuously improving the educational experience for all students, Agua Dulce Elementary can work to overcome its current challenges and provide a stronger foundation for student success.
