Gentry Elementary

Summary:

Gentry Elementary is a public elementary school in Mesquite, Texas, serving 637 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Mesquite Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Gentry's student population is diverse, with 45.05% African American, 45.37% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of White, Asian, Native American, and multiracial students.

Gentry Elementary faces several academic challenges. The school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in science, where only 11.58% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 18.86% for the district and 26.29% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but African American and White students ranking in the bottom 50% of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, 78.81% of Gentry's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contributes to the school's overall academic struggles.

While Gentry Elementary's performance is lower than nearby Pirrung Elementary, Achziger Elementary, and Gray Elementary, it outperforms some other local schools, such as Hodges Elementary and Thompson Elementary. However, the nearby Pioneer Technology (PTAA) Mesquite Elementary, a charter school, has a higher overall performance than Gentry. Addressing Gentry's low performance in science and the achievement gaps between student subgroups will be crucial for the school to improve and provide a high-quality education for its diverse student population.

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.
