Summary:
In zip code 75783, there is one elementary school, Quitman Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 with 580 students in the Quitman Independent School District (Isd).
Quitman Elementary shows a mixed performance profile with notable strengths and weaknesses. The school's 4th graders consistently outperform state averages, particularly in Reading where 66.28% were proficient in the most recent year compared to 53.04% statewide. However, mathematics is a significant challenge, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade scores falling at or below state averages. The school's state ranking has been volatile, dropping from the 70th percentile to the 57th percentile recently, suggesting performance is sensitive to individual student cohorts rather than stable school-wide systems. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and spending of $9,197 per student, the school has resources that don't fully translate into consistent academic outcomes.
One interesting finding is the "4th Grade Peak" phenomenon, where this grade level dramatically outperforms others, possibly due to a particularly effective teacher or targeted program. Science is a hidden strength, with 5th graders exceeding the state average (32.99% vs. 29.57%). The school faces the challenge of serving 60.17% economically disadvantaged students, which aligns with the volatile performance patterns seen in many high-poverty schools. While the school achieves strong results in specific areas, the inconsistency across grades and subjects indicates a need for more sustainable, school-wide strategies to support all students effectively.
