Nimitz Elementary has some areas of strength, such as its 5th-grade reading proficiency being significantly higher than the state and district averages. However, the school faces challenges in addressing the needs of its diverse student population, particularly its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and special education students. Nimitz's 3rd-grade math proficiency is lower than the district and state averages, and the school's performance for students with special needs and low socioeconomic status has been mixed. The school's White students consistently perform better than the state average, while its Hispanic students and English Language Learners struggle, ranking in the bottom 50% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Fred H. Tally Elementary consistently outperforms Nimitz Elementary on state assessments, while Starkey Elementary has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years. Schools outside the Kerrville ISD, such as Ingram Elementary and Harper Elementary, have higher overall performance and rankings compared to Nimitz Elementary. Additionally, Nimitz's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other 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.
