Summary:
The Dumas Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The district's elementary schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with Sunset Elementary emerging as the standout, consistently ranking among the top 1,300 elementary schools in Texas over the past 3 years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Cactus Elementary appears to be the weakest performer, ranking in the bottom 1,000 elementary schools in Texas and earning a 0-star rating.
Sunset Elementary's test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages, with over 50% of students proficient or better in both reading and math for 3rd and 4th grades. Cactus Elementary, on the other hand, has test scores that are well below the district and state averages, with only around 20-30% of students proficient or better in reading and math. The district's schools also vary in their free/reduced lunch rates, with Cactus Elementary having the highest at 93.87% and Dumas North Elementary having the lowest at 67.46%.
While Cactus Elementary has the highest spending per student at $11,572, this higher funding does not seem to translate to better academic outcomes. Additionally, Morningside Elementary has the lowest spending per student at $10,348. The student-teacher ratio also varies, with Sunset Elementary having the lowest at 12.8 and Dumas North Elementary having the highest at 14.8. These differences in resources and class sizes may contribute to the performance disparities observed across the Dumas ISD elementary schools.
