Williams Elementary

Summary:

Williams Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Lubbock, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 307. The school is part of the Lubbock Independent School District (ISD), which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Williams Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the Lubbock ISD and Texas state averages across most grade levels and subjects. The school's performance is particularly low for its majority Hispanic student population, who rank in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools in both reading and math. Nearby schools like Miller Elementary and Honey Elementary tend to outperform Williams Elementary on academic measures and have higher school rankings and ratings.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending, Williams Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a SchoolDigger rating fluctuating between 2 and 3 stars out of 5 over the past decade. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well but Hispanic students and students with low socioeconomic status performing much lower, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes at Williams Elementary.

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.
