Summary:
The Silsbee Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Silsbee Elementary and Laura Reeves Pri. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face challenges in academic performance compared to state averages.
Neither Silsbee Elementary nor Laura Reeves Pri stand out as exceptional performers. Both schools have consistently lower STAAR reading and math proficiency rates for grades 3-5 than the state averages, ranging from 34.59% to 46.78% proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 44.88% to 57.83%. Additionally, Silsbee Elementary's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 36.47% is below the state average of 29.57%.
The schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates of 70.49% at Silsbee Elementary and 77.57% at Laura Reeves Pri. Despite the higher spending per student at both schools, with Silsbee Elementary spending $10,015 and Laura Reeves Pri spending $12,596 per student, the academic performance remains below state averages. The lower student-teacher ratio of 12.2 at Laura Reeves Pri does not appear to translate into significantly better academic outcomes compared to Silsbee Elementary's ratio of 14.1.
