Central Elementary

Summary:

Central Elementary is a public elementary school located in Mabank, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 675 students. The school is part of the Mabank Independent School District, which is ranked 462 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Central Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (72.3%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse student population, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 919 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 2,266 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. This decline is reflected in the school's STAAR test scores, which are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. Additionally, Central Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing well for female students and multi-racial students, but struggling with lower rankings for White students, English Language Learners, and Gifted and Talented students.

Another notable factor is that Central Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students (over 60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average. This suggests that the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by students from low-income backgrounds, such as access to educational resources, healthcare, and social-emotional support. By closely examining the underlying factors contributing to these issues and learning from the successes of nearby schools, such as Lakeview Elementary and Southside Elementary, Central Elementary can develop targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable and high-quality education for all its students.

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.
