What the reported data says about SIMMS EL
SIMMS EL is a public elementary school serving grades KG–05 in TEXAS CITY. It is one of 15 current school records connected to TEXAS CITY ISD. NCES reports 482 students for 2024–25.
Among 4,660 elementary schools in Texas with comparable records, this school is close in size than the reported median of 519 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 42th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 15:1, close to the Texas median of 14.8:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Black (62.9%) and Hispanic or Latino (19.1%). English learners represent 1.2% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 20.8%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
