A B Duncan Collegiate El, Floydada TX

Original Research by School Decision on A B Duncan Collegiate El

A B Duncan Collegiate Elementary is a charter school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Floydada. The school enrolls a small population, with a majority Hispanic student body and a substantial share qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school operates as part of Floydada Collegiate ISD.

State testing results from the most recent year show a mixed academic picture across grades and subjects. In English language arts, the school demonstrates relative strength in fifth grade, where proficiency rates run above the midpoint. Third and fourth grade ELA proficiency are in the mid-range. In mathematics, performance is more uneven. Third grade shows moderate proficiency, fourth grade lags notably, and fifth grade recovers to around the midpoint. In fifth grade science, proficiency falls below the midpoint. Across all subjects, the school shows stronger rates in students reaching the "approaches" level of performance than in the "meets" and "masters" levels, suggesting a concentration of students in lower performance bands.

When compared against the two other districts in Floyd County, the school's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile countywide. This reflects that A B Duncan's aggregate test performance outpaces the county median by a meaningful margin, though the comparison set is small.

The school carries the "collegiate" designation in its name and district name. State testing data alone do not reveal what curricular or pedagogical pathways distinguish the school or what "collegiate" means in this context. A parent interested in the specific mission, curriculum design, or enrichment offerings would want to contact the school directly, as program detail is not available in the data.

Housing values in the Floydada area are modest relative to state and national benchmarks, and median monthly mortgage costs are low. The economic context shows a stable local labor market. These factors may appeal to families prioritizing affordability and stability, though broader information about population trends, major employers, or neighborhood character was not available.

The school is small enough that results can vary considerably by grade and cohort. Parents considering enrollment may want to ask the school about strategies for closing performance gaps in grades where results lag, particularly in fourth grade mathematics, and about how the "collegiate" framework shapes instruction across the primary grades.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
