Summary:
The Carrizo Springs Consolidated Independent School District has only one elementary school, Carrizo Springs Elementary, which serves grades PK-3 and has an enrollment of 601 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years.
Carrizo Springs Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state average. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics were 34.85% and 22.56%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52.02% and 44.88%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.19% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating that it serves a predominantly low-income student population.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and higher per-student spending of $11,502 in the 2020-2021 school year, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. The district and school leadership may need to implement targeted strategies to address the specific challenges faced by Carrizo Springs Elementary and its student population, such as professional development for teachers, targeted academic interventions, and community engagement initiatives.
