Central Elementary

Summary:

Central Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lewisville, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 519. The school is part of the Lewisville Independent School District, which is ranked 298 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, Central Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is significantly below the district and state averages, with only 20-36% of students proficient or better in reading and 19-29% proficient in math, compared to 60-65% and 53-60% respectively for the Lewisville ISD. This persistent academic underperformance is likely exacerbated by the school's extremely high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 92% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district average of 70-75%.

While the low student-teacher ratio at Degan Elementary, Lakeland Elementary, and other nearby Lewisville ISD schools suggests they may have more resources and staffing available to support student learning, this potential advantage has not translated into improved academic outcomes for students at Creekside Elementary or Marjory Vickery Elementary. The Lewisville ISD and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of the Central Elementary community and help students achieve greater academic success.

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.
