Summary

Sonora Elementary is a public elementary school in Sonora, Texas, serving 365 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Sonora Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 632 out of 961 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sonora Elementary's academic performance has been mixed compared to the state average. While the school has shown some strengths, such as a 6th-grade reading proficiency rate of 61% in 2021-2022 (significantly higher than the state average of 42%), its overall proficiency rates in reading and math are projected to be below the state average across most grade levels in 2024-2025. The school's performance has also fluctuated over the years, suggesting the need for more consistent and sustained academic improvement efforts.

Sonora Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school generally performing better with female students and Hispanic students compared to white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance with English Language Learners and Special Education students has also been mixed. To address these disparities, the school may need to focus on targeted interventions and support for struggling student groups. Additionally, the school's increase in per-student spending and stable student-teacher ratio suggest a commitment to providing adequate resources, but the continued academic challenges indicate the need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization.
