Wooldridge Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 86.62% Hispanic, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 62.18% to 93.03% Hispanic. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, and it struggles across various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Wooldridge Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.5% to 94.16% over the past few years.

While Wooldridge Elementary spends more per student ($12,896 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools, which range from $9,271 to $13,512 per student, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. In fact, the school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from the bottom 25% in 2016-2017 to the bottom 10% in recent years. Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Guerrero Thompson and Wooten Elementary, which also serve predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged populations, generally outperform Wooldridge Elementary on academic measures.

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.
