E C Brice Elementary

Summary:

E C Brice Elementary is a public elementary school in Mount Pleasant, Texas, serving 460 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Mount Pleasant Independent School District, which is ranked 251 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

E C Brice Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (67.39%) compared to nearby schools like Mt Vernon Elementary and Pewitt Elementary. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with a fluctuating statewide ranking, but it has maintained a 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger and generally performs on par or slightly above the district and state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in 3rd-grade reading and 4th-grade mathematics. However, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (79.57%), which is significantly higher than nearby schools.

Despite the challenges, E C Brice Elementary has shown particular strengths in supporting certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students with special education needs, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools for these groups in recent years. This suggests the school may have effective strategies in place to address the needs of these populations. However, the school's lower performance in 4th-grade reading and mathematics, as well as the performance of English Language Learners and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, indicate potential areas for improvement.

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.
