Jacob's Well Elementary

Summary:

Jacob's Well Elementary is a public elementary school in Wimberley, Texas, serving 531 students in grades 3-5 and part of the highly-ranked Wimberley Independent School District. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, diverse student population, and relatively low socioeconomic status compared to nearby schools.

Jacob's Well Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (68.17%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 28.57% to 76.1% White students. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally higher than state and district averages, particularly in reading, where 3rd-5th grade students have consistently outperformed the state by 10-20 percentage points. The school's special education and gifted and talented students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20% and top 50% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's Hispanic students and English Language Learners perform significantly lower than state and district averages.

While Jacob's Well Elementary outperforms nearby San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District schools, it lags behind the high-performing Dripping Springs Independent School District in overall statewide ranking and STAAR test scores. The school's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.3 may contribute to its academic success, but it still faces challenges in addressing performance gaps for certain student subgroups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
