Summary

Somerville Elementary is a small, rural PK-4 school in Somerville, TX, serving about 200 students as part of the Somerville Independent School District (Isd). The school faces significant challenges, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its academic performance on state assessments (STAAR) has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade.

Compared to nearby schools, the performance gaps are stark. For example, in 3rd grade reading, only 18.18% of Somerville students were proficient, versus 79.66% at Burton Elementary and 59.09% at Greens Prairie Elementary. In 3rd grade math, Somerville’s proficiency rate was 15.15%, while River Bend Elementary achieved 68.22% and Krause Elementary reached 62.39%. Even Snook Elementary, a similarly small rural school in the same town, outperformed Somerville in both 3rd grade reading (28.57%) and math (19.05%).

Interestingly, Somerville spends more per student ($11,225) than high-performing peers like Greens Prairie ($9,653) and River Bend ($9,547), and has a lower student-to-teacher ratio (13.5:1) than many of them. This suggests the issue isn’t a lack of resources, but likely a combination of factors related to high poverty and instructional effectiveness. There is a glimmer of hope in 4th grade reading, where 45.45% of students were proficient—only about 8 points below the state average. However, the school struggles significantly with male students and at-risk populations, with the latter ranking in the bottom 1% of the state in recent years. For parents considering this school, it’s important to understand that while the community is tight-knit and resources are available, academic outcomes lag far behind nearby options.
