Summary:
The Hearne Independent School District (Isd) in Texas contains only one elementary school, Hearne Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 941 out of 961 districts in Texas, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.
Hearne Elementary has consistently performed poorly, with its statewide ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools over the past few years. The school's STAAR test scores are significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 16.07% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading and just 10.71% proficient or better in math. The school's performance on STAAR science tests is particularly concerning, with only 1.96% of 5th graders proficient or better.
Despite relatively high spending per student at $12,488 for the 2020-2021 school year, the academic outcomes at Hearne Elementary do not reflect the investment. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 92.59% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the district and school may need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support the needs of their students and improve academic performance.
