Summary

Seminole Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Seminole, Texas, with 444 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5. The school is part of the Seminole Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 625 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Seminole Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 756th out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2,402nd out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance on STAAR tests is generally on par with or slightly above the Seminole ISD and Texas state averages, particularly in mathematics. The school excels in the performance of its Gifted and Talented students, ranking 227th out of 2,980 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 72nd out of 2,958 in 2021-2022. On the other hand, the school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is significantly lower than the state average, suggesting a need for improvement in supporting its Spanish-speaking student population.

Seminole Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 62.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic, with White students making up the second-largest group. Despite the higher per-student spending at Seminole Elementary compared to nearby Young Elementary and Seminole Pri, the school's relatively small class sizes and strong performance in certain areas suggest that it is effectively allocating its resources to support student learning.
