Providence Elementary

Summary:

Providence Elementary is a public elementary school in Aubrey, Texas, serving 655 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Denton Independent School District, which is ranked 565 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Despite having a diverse student population with higher percentages of African American (39.69%) and Hispanic (20.92%) students compared to nearby schools, Providence Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students. The school spends approximately $10,800 per student, which is higher than the district and state averages, but its academic outcomes do not reflect this higher level of spending.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Miller Elementary, Lakeview Elementary, and Oak Point Elementary, Providence Elementary consistently underperforms, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the Little Elm Independent School District and Frisco 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.
