Jordan Elementary

Summary:

Jordan Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 555 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 from SchoolDigger.

Jordan Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. On the STAAR tests, only 8% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 55.65% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups statewide. While Jordan Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.

The issues at Jordan Elementary are not unique, as nearby Pecan Springs Elementary and Overton Elementary also perform poorly on statewide assessments. However, some charter schools in the area, like Magnolia Montessori For All, demonstrate that higher academic achievement is possible for similar student populations.

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.
