Kilgore Intermediate

Summary:

Kilgore Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in the Kilgore Independent School District in Kilgore, Texas, with a student population of 582 that is predominantly White and Hispanic.

Despite its consistent ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools and a low SchoolDigger rating, Kilgore Intermediate faces several key challenges. The school's proficiency rates in STAAR tests are generally lower than state and district averages, particularly in reading and science. Student subgroup performance also varies significantly, with African American and White students performing worse than the state averages, while Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform better. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 76.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic struggles.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Kilgore ISD, such as Kilgore Pri and Chandler Elementary, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance, suggesting a district-wide challenge. In contrast, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Parkway Elementary and Overton Elementary, have higher statewide rankings and better academic performance, particularly in reading and mathematics, despite serving similar student populations.

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.
