Summary

Stewart Elementary in Hitchcock, TX, serves 355 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Hitchcock Independent School District (Isd), and is currently facing significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 3% of Texas elementary schools.

Academic performance at Stewart Elementary is critically low across all subjects, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points below the state average. For example, only 15% of 3rd graders were proficient in Math, compared to the state average of 44%. This underperformance is stark when compared to nearby schools in the Santa Fe Independent School District (Isd), such as Roy J Wollam Elementary, which achieved a 74% proficiency rate in 5th-grade Reading versus Stewart's 28%. Even when compared to demographically similar schools like Simms Elementary in Texas City Independent School District (Isd), Stewart often performs worse, despite both serving high-poverty populations. A major concern is the student-teacher ratio, which more than doubled in one year from 13.4:1 to 28.4:1—an extreme outlier compared to all nearby schools, which have ratios between 12.3:1 and 18.7:1.

Despite relatively high per-pupil spending ($13,574), which is higher than high-performing schools like Dan J Kubacak Elementary ($10,441), the school has struggled to sustain past successes. While Special Education and Gifted students ranked in the 85th and 81st percentiles respectively in recent years, those gains have not been maintained, with both groups dropping to the 7th and 10th percentiles. The school's best performance in the last decade was in 2020-2021 when it ranked in the 20th percentile, but it has since declined steadily. This pattern suggests that while Stewart Elementary is capable of improvement, it requires urgent, comprehensive intervention to address its systemic challenges and provide a stable, effective learning environment for its students.
