Evers Park Elementary

Summary:

Evers Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Denton, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Denton Independent School District (ISD). The school has a diverse student population, with a gradual increase in Hispanic students and decrease in White students over the past few years.

Evers Park Elementary's academic performance on STAAR tests generally lags behind the Denton ISD and Texas state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with stronger results for English Language Learner (ELL) students compared to African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, Evers Park has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged community.

While Evers Park Elementary's performance is lower than nearby schools like Newton Rayzor Elementary and Nette Shultz, it outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Borman Elementary and Rivera Elementary, in certain areas. The school's relatively stronger performance for ELL students suggests it may have effective strategies in place to support this population, but addressing the achievement gaps between different student subgroups could be an area for improvement.

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.

Open Quote So far so good. There are 17 students in my son's class. All events and meetings I've been to have been organized and well run. We are updated with take-home papers, stickers on the kids, emails, and facebook posts. Nothing really stands out that needs to be fixed. My son comes home smiling every day. Close Quote

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.
