Summary

Booker T Washington Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita Falls, Texas, serving 353 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wichita Falls Independent School District, which is ranked 619 out of 961 districts in the state.

Booker T Washington Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas, with rankings between 4,135 and 4,619 out of around 4,600 Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school spends a relatively high amount per student, with $12,488 spent per student in the 2020-2021 school year, compared to the district average of $10,352 per student at Crockett Elementary and $9,524 per student at Franklin Elementary. However, this higher spending does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.

While other nearby elementary schools in the Wichita Falls ISD, such as Crockett Elementary and Franklin Elementary, also have relatively low academic performance, they still outperform Booker T Washington Elementary by a significant margin. This suggests that the challenges faced by Booker T Washington Elementary may be more severe or systemic in nature.
