Summary:
The Banquete Elementary is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Banquete Independent School District (Isd) in Texas. With an enrollment of 355 students, the school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 2586 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 3258 out of 4675 in 2023-2024.
Banquete Elementary's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is generally below the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 42.37% (5th grade) to 48.21% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 57.83% (5th grade) and 52.02% (3rd grade). Similarly, the school's STAAR Mathematics proficiency rates ranged from 33.93% (3rd grade) to 45.28% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 44.88% (3rd grade) and 46.24% (5th grade). The school's STAAR Science proficiency rate for 5th grade was 13.56%, significantly lower than the state average of 29.57%.
The high percentage of students (65.07%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Banquete Elementary may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. The school's per-student spending of $11,621 is higher than the state average, but the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 suggests the need for further analysis of the school's resource allocation and its impact on student outcomes.
