Carpenter Elementary

Summary:

Carpenter Elementary is a public elementary school located in Deer Park, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Deer Park Independent School District. The school has seen a shift in its student population, with a growing Hispanic student body and decreasing White student enrollment.

While Carpenter Elementary's performance on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages, the school's ranking for Gifted and Talented students is relatively higher. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with its lower overall performance, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in student achievement. Interestingly, Carpenter Elementary's performance is higher than some nearby schools in the Pasadena Independent School District, such as McMasters Elementary and Golden Acres Elementary, which have lower proficiency rates.

Despite the challenges, Carpenter Elementary's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Gifted and Talented students, suggests that the school may be providing effective support in specific areas. Addressing the socioeconomic factors and exploring ways to improve overall academic achievement could be areas of focus for the school and the district to ensure all students at Carpenter Elementary receive the support they need to succeed.

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.
