Summary:

Farmers Branch Elementary is a public elementary school serving 488 students in grades PK-5 in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (ISD) in Texas. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (84.43% in 2022-2023) and has seen a slight increase in its white student population in recent years.

Academically, Farmers Branch Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 784 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,489 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on STAAR tests has been mixed, with the school outperforming the district and state averages in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade reading, but underperforming in 4th grade reading, 3rd grade math, and 5th grade science.

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.
