Summary:
The Bloomington Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools, Bloomington Elementary and Placedo Elementary, both of which have consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools based on the SchoolDigger ranking system, with low ratings of 1 or 2 stars out of 5.
Both schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with Bloomington Elementary at 85.28% and Placedo Elementary at 87.43%. The schools also have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage, with Bloomington Elementary at 90.57% and Placedo Elementary at 83.77%. The proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science for both schools are significantly below the state averages, with 5th grade STAAR Reading proficiency at just 23% for Bloomington Elementary, compared to the state average of 56%.
Despite the challenges faced by these schools, the per-student spending is relatively moderate, at $11,090 for Bloomington Elementary and $10,617 for Placedo Elementary. However, the student-teacher ratios are relatively high, at 14.8 and 17.5, respectively, which may contribute to the schools' struggles to provide individualized attention and support to their students. Addressing the persistent academic and socioeconomic challenges in the Bloomington Independent School District (Isd) will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased funding, and a focus on equity and inclusion.
