Summary

O'Hara Lanier Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Freeport, Texas, with 618 students. It is part of the Brazosport Independent School District, which is ranked 534 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $11,675 to $13,807 over the past three years, O'Hara Lanier Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in both reading and math proficiency across multiple grade levels and school years. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and White students, is also lower than the state averages for those subgroups, with the school's ranking for these subgroups in the bottom half or bottom third of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.76% to 99.41% over the past three school years, indicating a very high-poverty student population.

When comparing O'Hara Lanier Elementary to nearby schools in the Brazosport Independent School District, schools like Bess Brannen Elementary and Gladys Polk Elementary consistently outperform O'Hara Lanier in both reading and math proficiency across grade levels, and have significantly lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These comparisons highlight the significant challenges faced by O'Hara Lanier Elementary and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's underperformance and equity concerns.
