Public Grades

Summary

Carroll Bell Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of around 410. The school is part of the Harlandale Independent School District, which is ranked 857 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Carroll Bell Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (95.37%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 38%, compared to the state average of 50% and the district average of 30%. Additionally, Carroll Bell Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking of 4032 out of 4647 schools in the 2022-2023 school year, placing it in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in the state. However, the school has shown some strengths in supporting its special education and English Language Learner student populations, with these subgroups ranking higher than the school's overall performance.

Interestingly, while Carroll Bell Elementary's performance is generally lower than the state and district averages, some of the nearby schools in the Harlandale ISD, such as Morrill Elementary and Rayburn Elementary, have slightly higher academic performance on STAAR tests. Additionally, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 87% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) and its low ranking within the district and state suggest that factors such as socioeconomic status, resource allocation, and school leadership may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by Carroll Bell Elementary.
