Summary

Blanco Elementary is a public elementary school located in Blanco, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 505 students. The school is part of the Blanco Independent School District, which is ranked 345 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Blanco Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and science lagging behind the state average by 10-20 percentage points. The school's performance is particularly weak in the areas of Hispanic student and English Language Learner (ELL) student achievement, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools. This disparity in subgroup performance highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of the school's diverse student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Walnut Springs Elementary, Jacob's Well Elementary, and Rebecca Creek Elementary, generally outperform Blanco Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. These higher-performing schools tend to have lower percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more affluent student population. However, the nearby schools also spend less per student than Blanco Elementary, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to their academic success.
