Summary

Van Vleck Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Van Vleck Independent School District in Texas, with 458 students enrolled. The school faces several academic challenges, including lower-than-average performance on state standardized tests compared to the state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grade reading and math.

Van Vleck Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 64.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also struggles with its English Language Learner (ELL) population, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup. While the school's spending and student-teacher ratio are not significantly different from nearby schools, its academic outcomes suggest the need for more targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
