Beckville Sunset Elementary

Summary:

Beckville Sunset Elementary is a public elementary school serving 343 students in grades PK-5 in the Beckville Independent School District in Beckville, Texas. The school has a predominantly White student population (78.43%) and a long history of strong academic performance, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

Beckville Sunset Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic achievements, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages on the STAAR tests in reading, math, and science. The school's Gifted and Talented program is particularly noteworthy, ranking 14th out of 2,980 Texas elementary schools in this category. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.1 to 12.5 over the past three years, which likely contributes to its strong academic results. While the school has seen a gradual increase in the percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students, it continues to serve a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to some nearby schools, such as Hallsville West Elementary and Elysian Fields Elementary.

Despite Beckville Sunset Elementary's impressive performance, the school faces some challenges, including the need to address the specific needs of underperforming student subgroups, such as Hispanic and Special Education students. Additionally, the school's declining SchoolDigger rankings over the past few years suggest the need for the school to closely examine its instructional practices and resource allocation to maintain its high level of academic excellence. By leveraging its strengths and addressing these areas of concern, Beckville Sunset Elementary can continue to provide an exceptional educational experience for the students of Beckville, Texas.

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.
