Summary

Ethridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 647 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Garland Independent School District, which is ranked 470 out of 961 school districts in the state.

Ethridge Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with significantly lower proficiency rates in reading and math. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 86.4% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than nearby schools in the district, such as Walnut Glen Academy For Excel, Hickman Elementary, and Spring Creek Elementary, which have higher STAAR proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

Despite these challenges, Ethridge Elementary's Gifted and Talented program has shown strong performance in the past, ranking 10th out of over 3,100 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018. However, this program appears to have declined in recent years. The school has also demonstrated some success in supporting its at-risk student population, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup in 2018-2019 and 2020-2021.
