Souder Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower STAAR test scores compared to the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects.

The school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated between 1,497 and 4,308 out of around 4,600 Texas elementary schools, with a current ranking of 3,552 and a 1-star rating. Additionally, the school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also below the state and district averages, indicating difficulties in serving its large Hispanic student population.

Souder Elementary's student demographics also present unique challenges, with 91.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also has a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby Kennedale Independent School District and Fort Worth Independent School District schools. Despite spending more per student ($11,893 in 2020-2021) than the state and district averages, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.4 in 2022-2023 is higher than the nearby schools, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.

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.
