Summary

Camino Real Elementary is an elementary school located in Dale, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 737 students. It is part of the Bastrop Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 826 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Camino Real Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas, with statewide rankings in the bottom 5-10% for the past few years. Its performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Texas elementary schools for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. With an extremely high percentage of students (85.62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Camino Real Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.7, which is higher than the nearby schools in the Bastrop ISD.

When comparing Camino Real Elementary to other schools in the area, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced. The other Bastrop ISD elementary schools, such as Bluebonnet Elementary, generally outperform Camino Real across most metrics. Additionally, schools in the neighboring Del Valle ISD, like Hillcrest Elementary, Newton Collins Elementary, and Creedmoor Elementary, consistently outperform Camino Real on state assessments. Even the nearby Compass Rose Harvest, a public charter school, outperforms the traditional public school on most academic measures.
