Mayes Elementary

Summary:

Mayes Elementary is a public elementary school located in Denison, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 471. The school is part of the Denison Independent School District, which is ranked 603 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mayes Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (38.64%) and multi-racial (8.92%) students compared to nearby schools. The school's performance ranking is generally higher than other Denison ISD schools, though it still struggles with the academic achievement of its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student groups. Mayes Elementary's STAAR test scores in reading and math are higher than the district average but lower than the state average, and its performance in STAAR Spanish assessments is significantly lower than the district and state averages.

Mayes Elementary faces challenges common to many schools serving a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 63.69% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's increased spending per student, from $8,557 in 2018-2019 to $10,070 in 2020-2021, may be an effort to address these challenges and improve student outcomes. By focusing on its diverse student population and targeted interventions, Mayes Elementary may be able to continue improving its performance and better serve the needs of all its students, potentially outpacing the other Denison ISD elementary schools.

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.
