Summary

Morningside Elementary is a PK-5 school in New Braunfels, TX, serving 665 students as part of the highly-ranked Comal Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide.

While Morningside has shown impressive improvement over the past decade—climbing from a 1-star rating to a consistent 3-star rating—it still performs below the high standards of its district. In recent testing, proficiency rates in Reading and Math are 10 to 20 percentage points lower than the Comal ISD average. For example, 5th Grade Math proficiency is 43.7% at Morningside compared to 63.43% for the district. Interestingly, Morningside also trails many nearby schools in the lower-ranked New Braunfels Independent School District (Isd), such as Lamar Elementary, Veramendi Elementary, and Walnut Springs Elementary, which all achieve higher proficiency rates in Reading and Math. A key factor is that Morningside serves a high percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds (57.59% qualify for free or reduced lunch), which is significantly higher than those neighboring schools.

The school shows notable strengths with specific student groups, including Multi-racial and Gifted and Talented students, and has made strong recent gains with Special Education students. However, Math remains a consistent challenge, with proficiency rates lower than Reading and a wider gap compared to the district average. While Morningside spends a moderate amount per student ($9,173) and has a reasonable student-teacher ratio (14.9), its outcomes don't match the resource levels of some nearby schools like Seele Elementary, which spends more per student and achieves higher test scores. This suggests that while the school has made commendable progress, there is still work to be done in aligning instructional strategies to better serve its high-needs population and close the performance gap with its peers.

Wednesday, July 17, 2019

The Principal is horrible. As an active parent, things wont get better until she is gone. She has no respect for her teachers and cares nothing for what parents say. In her first year, over 30 of staff left. Close Quote
