Florence Elementary

Summary:

Florence Elementary is a public elementary school located in Southlake, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 489. The school is part of the Keller Independent School District, which is ranked 198 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Florence Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Texas, with a statewide ranking between 73 and 144 over the past several years. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating exceptional academic performance. Florence Elementary students consistently outperform their peers in the Keller ISD and the state of Texas on STAAR tests, with 74% of 3rd-grade students and 85.05% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 60.38% and 62.63% for the Keller ISD, respectively. The school also excels in the performance of various student subgroups, ranking 50th out of 4,585 Texas elementary schools for male students and 181st out of 4,401 for Hispanic students.

However, Florence Elementary has a notably different demographic makeup compared to nearby schools, with a much higher percentage of white students (74.85%) than the state average. This could be due to the socioeconomic characteristics of the Southlake community. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (10.63%), suggesting it may have access to more resources and funding compared to schools with higher poverty rates. While Florence Elementary outperforms the Keller ISD and the state of Texas on many metrics, it is interesting to note the performance of nearby schools, such as Walnut Grove Elementary in the Carroll Independent School District, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state.

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.
