North Elementary

Q: Is North Elementary a good school?

North Elementary ranks 1778 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

North Elementary is a public elementary school in Leander, Texas, serving 441 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Leander Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 200 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

While North Elementary is part of a high-performing district, the data suggests the school may need to focus on improving its academic performance. North Elementary's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade reading and math proficiency rates are generally lower than the Leander ISD and Texas state averages. For example, North Elementary's 3rd-grade reading proficiency was 43.24%, compared to 57.64% for Leander ISD and 48.85% for Texas. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking of 1778 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools places it in the bottom half of the state's elementary schools, lower than nearby Whitestone Elementary and Tarvin Elementary, which are also part of the Leander ISD.

North Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 is a positive, but the school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Asian students compared to nearby schools, may present unique challenges that the school needs to address to ensure all students are succeeding. Overall, while North Elementary is part of a high-performing district, the data suggests the school has room for improvement, particularly in the areas of reading, math, and science proficiency.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at North Elementary

2023	441	33.9	12.9	19.5

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
