Summary

Falfurrias Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Brooks County Independent School District (ISD) in Falfurrias, Texas. With 232 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools and received low ratings from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Falfurrias Elementary faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty rates, and limited resources. The school consistently underperforms the state average on STAAR tests, with only 30.11% of 3rd graders proficient in reading and 22.58% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 52.02% and 44.88%, respectively. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.97% to 95.82% in recent years, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Falfurrias Elementary also spends significantly less per student compared to the state average, with spending ranging from $10,020 to $12,616 per student, and has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.9 to 16.5 students per teacher.

Interestingly, Lasater Elementary and Falfurrias Innovation Academy, other schools in the Brooks County ISD, also struggle with low academic performance, high poverty rates, and low spending per student, suggesting that the challenges faced by Falfurrias Elementary are systemic within the district. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve the overall educational landscape in the Falfurrias area.
