Deer Creek Elementary

Summary:

Deer Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Crowley, Texas, serving 723 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Crowley Independent School District, which is ranked 750 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Deer Creek Elementary faces several challenges in student academic performance, particularly for its African American, special education, and gifted and talented student populations. The school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with especially low performance in STAAR Science. However, the school has seen some improvements in its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student performance, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools in these categories. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.74% to 71.9% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

Interestingly, Deer Creek Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Burleson Independent School District, such as Mound Elementary and Irene Clinkscale Elementary, which have significantly higher STAAR test scores and rankings. Addressing the disparities in student performance and finding ways to improve overall outcomes should be a priority for Deer Creek Elementary and the Crowley Independent School District.

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.
