Summary:
In zip code 77951, there is one elementary school, Bloomington Elementary, serving grades 3 through 6 in the Bloomington Independent School District (Isd), an area where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a highly economically disadvantaged community.
Bloomington Elementary faces profound academic challenges, with state rankings consistently in the bottom 5% over the past two school years. Test scores are dramatically below state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the most recent school year, only 5.56% of 5th graders were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 47.38%, and 3rd Grade Reading proficiency dropped to just 8.51% from 23.19% the previous year. The school's district is ranked 921 out of 951 districts in Texas, earning a 0-star rating, and the school itself holds a 0-star rating.
Despite these low scores, there is a glimmer of hope in 3rd Grade Math, where 43.48% of students were proficient, nearly matching the state average of 44.33%. However, this progress is not sustained in later grades, with a particularly sharp decline in 5th grade performance. The school spends $11,090 per student, yet the combination of high poverty and low academic outcomes suggests that resources may need to be more effectively targeted toward academic interventions. Overall, Bloomington Elementary requires urgent, comprehensive support to address severe proficiency gaps in both Reading and Mathematics across all grade levels.
