Summary:
The Connally Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three elementary schools: Connally Pri, Connally Elementary, and Connally Early Childhood Center. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in a predominantly low-income area.
Based on the available data, none of the Connally ISD elementary schools appear to be standouts, as all three are performing significantly below the state average on key metrics such as STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science. The proficiency rates at Connally Pri and Connally Elementary are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade reading, Connally Pri's proficiency rate is 34.03%, compared to the state average of 52.02%. Similarly, Connally Elementary's 5th grade science proficiency rate is only 5.13%, far below the state average of 29.57%.
The Connally ISD elementary schools also share other concerning characteristics, including extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.94% at Connally Pri to 91.24% at Connally Early Childhood Center. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student, the academic performance of these schools remains poor, suggesting that the district may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the unique needs of its student population. Additionally, Connally Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools over the past three years, with no signs of improvement.
