The current enrollment is 522 students PK - 5th, which includes our Head Start students. PK - 2nd classes are self-contained, 3rd -5th are departmentalized.

The data used includes: STAAR 2016, EOY MAP, DRA 2, ISIP, TEA Campus Accountability, TEA Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), Attendance, Discipline Data and Every Day Counts data.

The staff demographics include 13% African Americans, 19% Hispanics and 67% Whites. The teachers’ years of experience range from 1 to 30 years, with the majority having 6 to 20 years of experience.
