Saginaw Elementary

Summary:

Saginaw Elementary is a public elementary school in Saginaw, Texas, serving 333 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 563 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Saginaw Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (46.25%) and a lower percentage of White students (42.64%). However, the school's academic performance is consistently below the district and state averages, with only 35.29% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 43.1% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students (68.77%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite these challenges, Saginaw Elementary's gifted and talented students perform exceptionally well, ranking 14th out of 2,980 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023, and its special education students perform relatively better than other subgroups.

While Saginaw Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, some of the nearby schools, such as Willow Creek Elementary, have stronger academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics and science. This suggests there may be opportunities for Saginaw Elementary to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools in the district. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 2,061st out of 4,359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 3,530th out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, which is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.

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.
