Summary

Fred Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Fred, Texas, serving 167 students within the Warren Independent School District (Isd), where over 80% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school has experienced a dramatic and concerning academic decline in recent years, dropping from a 76th percentile state ranking (4 stars) in 2022-2023 to a 6th percentile ranking (0 stars) in 2025-2026—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Evadale Elementary, which holds an 81st percentile ranking, and Kountze Intermediate at the 54th percentile.

Current test scores are critically low, with only 16.67% of 4th graders and 23.81% of 3rd graders proficient in Math, and just 25% of 4th graders proficient in Reading—far below the district average and neighboring schools like Evadale Elementary, which achieved 82.35% proficiency in 4th-grade Math and 91.18% in Reading. This decline is widespread across all student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 12% or lower for female, male, white, special education, and low socio-economic status students, indicating a systemic issue rather than one tied to a specific group. Notably, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, lower than many peers like Kirbyville Elementary (16.2:1) and Silsbee Elementary (14.4:1), yet this advantage has not translated into better outcomes, suggesting potential issues with instructional quality or leadership.

Spending per student at Fred Elementary ($10,142) is higher than at Warren Elementary ($9,557), the district's other school, which also underperforms but not as severely—Warren Elementary saw 59.42% of 4th graders proficient in Reading versus Fred's 25%. The school's past strengths, such as strong 3rd-grade Reading and Math proficiency rates of 79% and 71% in 2022-2023, have collapsed to 33% and 24% by 2025-2026, pointing to a major disruption around the 2023-2024 school year. For parents, this rapid decline and inability to leverage a low student-teacher ratio raise urgent questions about the school's current educational model and support systems.
