Kenneth E Little Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-3

Summary

Kenneth E Little Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bacliff, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 648. The school is part of the Dickinson Independent School District, which is ranked 549 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($11,065 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools in the Clear Creek Independent School District, Kenneth E Little Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 27% of 3rd graders proficient in reading, compared to 46% in the district and 50% statewide. The performance of certain student subgroups, such as White students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs, is particularly concerning, with these groups ranking in the bottom 10-20% of their respective statewide subgroups.

The nearby I.W. and Eleanor Hyde Elementary in the Clear Creek ISD, which serves a more affluent and higher-performing student population, significantly outperforms Kenneth E Little Elementary on academic measures, despite spending less per student. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 85%) at Kenneth E Little Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance, but the higher per-student spending suggests that other factors, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may also play a role in the school's struggles.
