Summary:
The Walnut Bend Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Walnut Bend Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance is relatively low, ranking 2953 out of 4651 Texas elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Walnut Bend Elementary's student performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state average, with lower percentages of students proficient or better in reading, math, and science across various grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 44.44% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 52.02%. The school's dropout rate is 0.0%, which is a positive indicator, but it has a high percentage of students (68.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Walnut Bend Elementary's statewide ranking has been steadily declining, suggesting that its performance may be worsening relative to other schools in the state. The school's STAAR test scores also show significant variability across different grade levels and subject areas, with some grades performing better than others. While the school's spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was higher than the state average at $16,223, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, and the school's performance is generally on par with the overall Walnut Bend ISD, which is underperforming compared to the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels.
