Summary:
The Excelsior Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Excelsior Elementary, which serves a small student population of 77 students. Despite its relatively small class sizes, Excelsior Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools over the past few years, with a ranking of 4,113 out of 4,651 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.
The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is generally below the district and state averages, with some exceptions. For example, in 8th grade reading, Excelsior Elementary outperformed the district and state in 2023-2024. However, the school struggles in other subject areas, such as mathematics and science, suggesting the need for a more targeted approach to address specific academic weaknesses. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 66.23% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.3, this factor alone does not seem to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The school's per-student spending of $17,885 is higher than the state average, but the consistently low performance suggests that additional resources and support may be necessary to address the needs of the students and improve the overall educational experience at Excelsior Elementary.
