Scharbauer Elementary

Summary:

Scharbauer Elementary is a public elementary school in Midland, Texas, serving 696 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Midland Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 556 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scharbauer Elementary faces significant challenges compared to other schools in the Midland ISD and the state of Texas. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (67.67%) and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 56.36% to 69.4%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Academically, Scharbauer Elementary consistently underperforms, with 3rd-grade reading proficiency rates (18.97%) well below the Midland ISD (42.46%) and Texas state (48.85%) averages. The school's student group rankings are particularly low, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools for various subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, white students, English language learners, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Scharbauer Elementary to other nearby schools within the Midland ISD, it becomes evident that the school is consistently one of the lower-performing schools in the district. Schools like Rusk Elementary, Greathouse Elementary, and Barbara Yarbrough Elementary outperform Scharbauer Elementary in both academic achievement and student group rankings. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the years, from a high of 2,718 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 4,438 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep pace with the academic progress of other schools in the state.

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.
