Summary:
The Trinity Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Lansberry Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been a concern, with consistently lower STAAR test scores compared to the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.
Lansberry Elementary's STAAR test scores have been declining over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 3922 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 4516 out of 4651 in 2024-2025. This underperformance is particularly evident in 3rd-grade reading, where only 30% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 52.02%. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.03% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can be a significant factor in academic performance.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,912 for the 2020-2021 school year, the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.6 is relatively high compared to the recommended ratio for effective instruction. This indicates that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning, which could be an area for further investigation and potential improvement.
