Summary:

Lee Elementary is a public elementary school located in Irving, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 709. The school is part of the Irving Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 822 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lee Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Irving ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading at Lee Elementary was 40.98%, compared to 38.11% for Irving ISD and 53.96% for Texas. The school's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status, consistently rank in the bottom quartile of their respective statewide subgroup rankings. Lee Elementary has been ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 4036 out of 4675 schools in 2023-2024 and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The nearby schools within the Irving ISD, such as Lively Elementary, Keyes Elementary, and Haley T Elementary, also struggle academically and have similar low rankings and test scores, suggesting that the challenges faced by Lee Elementary are not unique and may be systemic within the Irving ISD. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the racial/ethnic composition of the student body at Lee Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance.

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.
