Summary:
The Zavalla Elementary is the sole elementary school located within the Zavalla Independent School District (Isd) in Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 165 students.
Zavalla Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state averages on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates well below the state levels across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's statewide ranking places it between 2,176 and 4,343 out of 4,651 Texas elementary schools over the past few years, indicating a low level of academic achievement. Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 and higher-than-average spending per student of $14,002 for the 2020-2021 school year.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Zavalla Elementary, at 75.76% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic struggles, as research has shown that poverty can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement. The school's consistently low academic performance, coupled with its resource allocation, warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address these concerns and improve student outcomes.
