Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 4,169 and 4,322 out of 4,675 schools in recent years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for Hispanic and African American students. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.83% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 13.9 to 14.8 students per teacher, its academic performance has been declining over the years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 3,469 out of 4,359 in 2017-2018 to 4,322 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Nacogdoches ISD, such as Cushing Elementary, Dunbar Pri, and Central Elementary, Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates on STAAR tests and lower statewide rankings. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 94.11% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to the school's overall academic struggles and underscores the need for targeted interventions and support services to help all students succeed.

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.
