Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elementary

Summary:

Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elementary is a public elementary school in Maypearl, Texas, serving 356 students in grades 2-5. The school is part of the Maypearl Independent School District, which is ranked 459 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 71.91% white students, which is higher than the nearby Maypearl Pri Elementary (62.57% white) and the more diverse Wilemon Steam Academy (66.12% white) and Dunaway Elementary (32.38% white). The school's STAAR test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the state and district averages, with some notable exceptions, such as 4th and 5th-grade reading proficiency rates exceeding the state averages.

However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students and English Language Learners performing relatively well, but white students and students with special needs struggling. Additionally, Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elementary's performance is mixed compared to nearby schools, trailing the higher-performing Grandview Elementary and Wilemon Steam Academy, but outperforming the lower-performing Venus Elementary. This suggests the school may have room for improvement to better serve its students and compete with the academic achievements of neighboring schools.

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.
