James A Monaco

Summary:

James A Monaco is an elementary school in Aubrey, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Aubrey Independent School District. The school's diverse student population includes 49.72% White, 20.3% African American, 21.23% Hispanic, and other racial/ethnic groups.

While James A Monaco has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, its academic performance on STAAR tests is mixed compared to the district and state averages. The school's 5th-grade students outperformed the district and state in reading, but 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students generally performed below the district and state in both reading and math. Notably, there are significant achievement gaps between different racial/ethnic student groups, with White and multi-racial students consistently outperforming African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, the school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may require targeted support and resources.

In comparison to nearby schools, Hl Brockett, another elementary school in the Aubrey ISD, consistently outperforms James A Monaco on STAAR tests. However, schools in the neighboring Denton Independent School District, such as Oak Point Elementary, generally have lower academic performance compared to James A Monaco, particularly in math and science.

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.
