Summary

Apple Springs Elementary is a public elementary school located in Apple Springs, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 109 students. The school is part of the Apple Springs Independent School District, which is ranked 518 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Apple Springs Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2,308 and 3,305 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state average, with particular concerns in 6th-grade math and 4th-grade math. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 66.12% to 72.48% over the past few years, and its performance on STAAR tests for subgroups, such as female students, male students, and white students, is generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups. The school's ranking for special education students is particularly low, placing in the bottom 2% of Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023.

Nearby schools, such as Sarah Strinden Elementary, Groveton Elementary, and the schools in the Lufkin Independent School District, generally perform better on STAAR tests and have higher rankings than Apple Springs Elementary. These schools also tend to have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Addressing the challenges faced by Apple Springs Elementary, such as targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with nearby schools and the district, could be crucial steps in improving the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.
