Maxfield Elementary

Summary:

Maxfield Elementary is a public elementary school in Gorman, Texas, serving 105 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gorman Independent School District, which is ranked 642 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Maxfield Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (47.62%) compared to nearby schools like Ranger Elementary and Rising Star Elementary. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 790 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3,257 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. While Maxfield's Special Education students have performed well, the school's At-Risk students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 2% of Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021. Additionally, 77.14% of Maxfield's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the school's challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement.

Compared to nearby schools, Maxfield Elementary generally outperforms its counterparts, such as Ranger Elementary and Rising Star Elementary, which have consistently lower statewide rankings and STAAR test scores. However, Maxfield's diverse student population and high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds suggest that the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.

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.
