Summary

Howe Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Howe Independent School District (ISD) in Howe, Texas, with 284 students. The school's academic performance is generally below the state average, with its 5th-grade reading proficiency rate at 52.88% compared to the state average of 57.83%. However, Howe Intermediate outperforms some nearby schools like Washington Elementary and Crutchfield Elementary in the Sherman ISD, while underperforming schools like John and Nelda Partin Elementary and Bob and Lola Sanford Elementary in the Van Alstyne ISD.

Howe Intermediate's performance for specific student subgroups is varied. The school performs well for special education students, ranking in the top 15% of Texas elementary schools in this category. However, it struggles with Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to its academic challenges.

Howe Intermediate's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 644th out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,831st out of 4,647 in 2022-2023. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has also varied, with 4 stars out of 5 in 2020-2021 and 3 stars out of 5 in the most recent years. By closely analyzing its performance data, student demographics, and resource allocation, the school and district can identify targeted strategies to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for all students.
