Alton Boyd Elementary

Summary:

Alton Boyd Elementary is a public elementary school in Allen, Texas, serving 572 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Allen Independent School District, which is ranked 61 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alton Boyd Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (56.99%) and African American (18.88%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing relatively better compared to other subgroups, while White, African American, and Gifted and Talented students perform worse. Alton Boyd Elementary also has a high percentage of students (69.06%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools like Carlena Chandler Elementary, Frances E Norton Elementary, and Dr. E.T. Boon Elementary, Alton Boyd Elementary consistently underperforms in academic achievement, with lower STAAR proficiency rates and a lower statewide ranking. The school's performance has also declined over the past few years, from a ranking of 1,868 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a ranking of 3,120 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. These challenges suggest that the Allen Independent School District may need to closely examine Alton Boyd Elementary's resource allocation and instructional practices to address the equity concerns and improve student outcomes.

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.
