Summary:
Ralls Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Ralls Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools in recent years.
Ralls Elementary has 189 students enrolled, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1. The school's spending per student is $12,158, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is consistently poor, with proficiency rates well below the state average in reading, math, and science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.83% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 52.02%.
The high percentage of students (91.01%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at Ralls Elementary indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles. Additionally, the Ralls Independent School District as a whole is ranked very low (933 out of 961 districts in Texas), suggesting that the challenges faced by Ralls Elementary may be reflective of broader systemic issues within the district.
