Summary:
The Kress Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Kress Elementary, which serves students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2,986 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 3,777 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Kress Elementary's proficiency rates on the STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. The school serves a student population with a high percentage (64.93% in 2023-2024) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 in the 2023-2024 school year, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention for students.
To better understand Kress Elementary's performance and identify potential areas for improvement, further analysis could include examining the school's performance data over a longer time period, comparing it to peer schools with similar demographics, investigating how the school's financial and human resources are being utilized, and gathering feedback from teachers, parents, and community members. By conducting a more comprehensive analysis, the school district can develop strategies to support the academic growth and success of its students.
