Summary:
The Tatum Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Tatum Pri (serving grades PK-2) and Tatum Elementary (serving grades 3-5). While neither school stands out as exceptional, the data provides insights into the performance and characteristics of these institutions within the district.
Academically, both Tatum Pri and Tatum Elementary have STAAR test scores that are generally below the state average in reading, math, and science. However, Tatum Elementary's 5th-grade reading and math scores are stronger, with 55-66% of students proficient or better, compared to the district and state averages. The schools have similar per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting efficient resource allocation.
Notably, both Tatum Pri and Tatum Elementary serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 60% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This indicates that the Tatum ISD caters to a predominantly low-income population, which may present unique challenges and considerations for the district. Overall, the data suggests a level of consistency in the educational approach and resources across the two elementary schools, with opportunities for improvement in academic achievement.
