Ann Whitney Elementary

Summary:

Ann Whitney Elementary is a public elementary school in Hamilton, Texas, serving 397 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hamilton Independent School District. The school has a predominantly white student population, with some notable academic strengths and challenges.

Ann Whitney Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with strong reading proficiency but struggles in mathematics and science. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, suggesting it may be losing ground compared to other Texas elementary schools. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female and Hispanic students generally outperforming their male and white counterparts. However, English Language Learners and students with Special Education needs have struggled to meet state standards.

Interestingly, Ann Whitney Elementary's academic performance stands in contrast to that of a nearby school, Evant Elementary, which is part of the Evant Independent School District. Evant Elementary has a more diverse student population and significantly lower academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. This comparison highlights the unique challenges and strengths of Ann Whitney Elementary within the local educational landscape.

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.
