Summary:
In zip code 76641, there is one elementary school, Frost Elementary, serving grades PK through 6 in the Frost Independent School District (Isd), a small, rural area with a total enrollment of 247 students.
Frost Elementary has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 34th percentile statewide, placing it in the bottom third of Texas elementary schools. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which can allow for more individualized attention. However, academic performance is mixed and volatile. The most notable bright spot is 5th grade, where students outperformed the state average in both reading (60.71% proficient) and math (51.72% proficient) in the most recent school year. In contrast, 4th grade represents a significant challenge, with proficiency rates of just 17.86% in reading and 28.57% in math—dramatically below state averages. Science scores are also a weakness, with only 22.22% of 5th graders proficient. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 64.37% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Due to the small student body, year-over-year test scores can swing significantly based on the specific group of students in each grade. For example, 3rd grade reading proficiency jumped from 20.69% to 42.31% in one year, while 4th grade reading dropped from 32% to 17.86%. This volatility makes it difficult to identify long-term trends, but it also means that a strong teacher or a particularly motivated cohort can have an outsized positive impact. The school’s district is ranked 737 out of 951 in Texas, and spending per student is slightly below the state average at $11,387. Overall, Frost Elementary is a school with clear strengths in 5th grade but faces significant academic hurdles, especially in 4th grade and science.
