Summary:

Bowie Intermediate is an elementary school in Bowie, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 362 students. The school is part of the Bowie Independent School District, which is ranked 416 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bowie Intermediate has a higher percentage of White students (74.86%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse student population. However, the school's test scores, particularly in reading and math, are generally lower than the state averages and the scores of the nearby schools, such as Bowie Elementary. Bowie Intermediate also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.78% to 62.01% over the past three years, which is higher than the nearby Bowie Elementary school.

Bowie Intermediate's performance, as measured by test scores and statewide rankings, has declined over the past few years, placing the school in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. The school's leadership and the Bowie Independent School District should closely examine the factors contributing to these issues and develop a comprehensive plan to address them, with a focus on improving academic outcomes 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.
