Lee Elementary

Summary:

Lee Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 458 students from kindergarten to 6th grade as part of the Austin Independent School District (AISD).

Lee Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Texas, with strong academic performance that exceeds the AISD and state averages. The school's STAAR test scores are particularly impressive, with 91.67% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in reading, compared to 56.78% for AISD and 50.66% for Texas. Lee Elementary's performance is especially strong for White and multi-racial students, but the school faces challenges in supporting underperforming subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its academic success.

While Lee Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby schools like Bryker Woods Elementary and Blackshear Elementary, other schools in the area, such as Casis Elementary and Ridgetop Elementary, also have strong academic performance. This suggests that Lee Elementary is part of a cluster of high-performing schools in the Austin area, but the school will need to continue addressing issues of educational equity to support all students, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status.

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.
