Hodge Elementary

Summary:

Hodge Elementary is a public elementary school in Denton, Texas, serving 634 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Denton Independent School District, which is ranked 565 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hodge Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low STAAR test scores that lag behind both the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school's performance is particularly weak in STAAR Mathematics and STAAR Science, and its STAAR Spanish assessment scores also indicate challenges in supporting its large Hispanic student population, which has increased from 68.67% in 2020-2021 to 74.13% in 2022-2023. Hodge Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 1,238 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3,679 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 1 star during the same period.

Hodge Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than most of the nearby schools in the Denton ISD, such as Houston Elementary, Nette Shultz, and Evers Park Elementary, which consistently outperform Hodge on STAAR assessments. The nearby North Texas Collegiate Academy-North Campus, a public charter school, also outperforms Hodge Elementary across multiple grade levels and subjects.

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.
