Barrington Elementary

Summary:

Barrington Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 345 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 554 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Barrington Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 42.86% of 3rd graders were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 55.65% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 15% of 3rd graders, 20% of 4th graders, and 3.7% of 5th graders achieving proficiency, compared to district and state averages in the 40-50% range. This low academic performance is likely linked to the school's extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Barrington Elementary spends significantly more per student ($12,211 in 2020-2021) compared to the district and state averages, the school's student-teacher ratio has remained relatively high, ranging from 11.8 to 13.3 over the past three years. Nearby schools in the Austin Independent School District, such as Wooten Elementary and Wooldridge Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance, while some schools like Guerrero Thompson perform significantly better. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and targeted interventions, may play a crucial role in determining a school's academic 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.
