Reeces Creek Elementary

Summary:

Reeces Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Killeen, Texas, serving 856 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Killeen Independent School District, which is ranked 596 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Reeces Creek Elementary faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past 8 years. The school's academic performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly low performance for certain student subgroups like White and multi-racial students. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While Reeces Creek spends more per student than the district average, its overall funding and resources are still below the state average for elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Killeen Independent School District have a similar demographic makeup and performance profile to Reeces Creek Elementary, with most ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. However, some nearby schools, such as Haynes Elementary and Saegert Elementary, perform significantly better on STAAR tests and have higher overall rankings, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Reeces Creek to learn from their practices and strategies. Additionally, Reeces Creek has a relatively strong gifted and talented program, ranking in the top half of Texas elementary schools for this student subgroup, which could be leveraged to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
