Summary

Kimmie M Brown Elementary is a public elementary school in Dayton, Texas, serving 853 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Dayton Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 747 out of 961 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kimmie M Brown Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,130 and 3,984 out of around 4,500 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with projected proficiency rates in reading and math around 30-40%, compared to the state averages of 52-58%. The school's academic challenges are not unique, as nearby Richter Elementary and Austin Elementary schools within the same district also struggle academically.

Kimmie M Brown Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 73-82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio and per-student spending are similar to nearby schools, suggesting that resource allocation may not be the primary driver of the academic challenges. The school's underperformance appears to be systemic, and addressing the root causes may require a comprehensive review of instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to better serve the diverse student population.
