Alvis C Story Elementary

Summary:

Alvis C Story Elementary is a public elementary school in Allen Independent School District that serves 435 students in grades K-6. The school has a diverse student population and a history of strong academic performance, consistently outpacing state averages on STAAR assessments.

Alvis C Story Elementary's academic excellence is evident across grade levels, with particularly impressive results in 6th-grade reading (82% proficiency compared to 50% statewide) and 5th-grade science (42% proficiency versus 34% statewide). The school's Asian and multi-racial student subgroups perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools. However, the school faces challenges in ensuring equitable outcomes for its African American and Hispanic students, whose performance lags behind their peers. The school's higher per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 may contribute to its strong academic standing.

When compared to nearby schools, Alvis C Story Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly lower than other high-performing schools in the Allen Independent School District, such as Max O Vaughan Elementary and James and Margie Marion Elementary. However, the school outperforms nearby schools in the Plano Independent School District (e.g., McCall Elementary and Hickey Elementary) and the Lovejoy Independent School District (e.g., Joe V Hart Elementary).

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.
