Amelia Elementary

Summary:

Amelia Elementary is a public elementary school in Beaumont, Texas, serving 544 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Beaumont Independent School District, which is ranked 869 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Amelia Elementary faces significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students. The school has a predominantly African American student population (70.96%), which is much higher than the state average, and consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Amelia Elementary's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, and the school struggles to perform well for various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Despite relatively high spending per student at $10,756, the school's academic performance remains well below the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools within the Beaumont Independent School District, Amelia Elementary stands out as an outlier in terms of academic performance. Schools like Regina Howell Elementary and Curtis Elementary, which serve more diverse student populations, consistently outperform Amelia Elementary on STAAR assessments. The persistent low performance and racial disparities at Amelia Elementary suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and support systems to address the underlying issues and provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
