Summary:
Hamlin Collegiate Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Hamlin Collegiate Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past three years, with its students performing significantly below the state average on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests in mathematics, reading, and science.
Hamlin Collegiate Elementary spends $12,467 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 14.6, which is lower than the state average. However, these resources have not translated into strong academic outcomes, as the school's proficiency rates range from 25% to 66.67% in mathematics, 27.27% to 48.48% in reading, and 25% in 5th-grade science, all of which are well below the state averages. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 77.78% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The Hamlin Collegiate Independent School District as a whole is ranked 667 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students. The persistent academic struggles of Hamlin Collegiate Elementary, despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, suggest that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's performance challenges.
