Baker Elementary

Summary:

Baker Elementary is a public elementary school located in Canadian, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 137 students. The school is part of the Canadian Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 116 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baker Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in STAAR test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Baker Elementary's 4th-grade reading proficiency rate was 78.05%, compared to the state average of 50.66%. The school also has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 51.82% White, 46.72% Hispanic, and 0.73% Native American and two or more races. This diversity is higher than the nearby Canadian Elementary school, which has a student population that is 47.06% White and 49.02% Hispanic. Additionally, Baker Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.3 to 9.8 students per teacher over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby Canadian Elementary school's ratio of 11.3 in the 2022-2023 school year.

While Baker Elementary has maintained strong academic performance, its enrollment has declined from 204 students in the 2022-2023 school year to 137 students in the 2023-2024 school year. This trend may be worth further investigation to understand the underlying factors and potential implications for the school's future. However, the school's consistent academic achievement, low student-teacher ratio, and higher per-student spending suggest that it is providing a quality educational experience for its diverse student population.

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.
