Gilbert F M Elementary

Summary:

Gilbert F M Elementary is a public elementary school in Irving, Texas, serving 723 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Irving Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gilbert F M Elementary has shown impressive academic growth, with its statewide ranking improving from 3675 out of 4578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1370 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR tests is notably higher than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. Gilbert F M Elementary also stands out for its strong performance among Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, outperforming many nearby schools like Lively Elementary, Haley J Elementary, and Townley Elementary.

While Gilbert F M Elementary has made significant strides, there are still areas for improvement, such as the performance of its Gifted and Talented students and its STAAR Spanish assessment results. However, the school's efficient use of resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increasing per-student spending, makes it a model for other schools serving similar student demographics, particularly those in the Irving Independent School District.

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.
