North Elementary

Summary:

North Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Plainview Independent School District (ISD) in Plainview, TX, with a total enrollment of 672 students for the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, with a predominantly Hispanic (86.31%) and economically disadvantaged (88.84% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) student population.

North Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, lags behind the state averages in both reading and math for 3rd and 4th grades. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.33% of 3rd graders and 34.41% of 4th graders were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state averages of 48.85% and 50.66%, respectively. The math proficiency rates were also lower, with 24% of 3rd graders and 29.03% of 4th graders meeting the standard, compared to the state averages of 40.86% and 44.67%. When compared to the other elementary schools in the Plainview ISD, such as South Elementary and Central Elementary, North Elementary generally performs worse on STAAR test scores.

Despite the challenges, North Elementary's performance is not significantly worse than the other Plainview ISD schools, indicating that there may be opportunities for improvement. The school's ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools by SchoolDigger, with a 1-star rating out of 5, suggests that targeted interventions and support could help raise student achievement, particularly in addressing the needs of the school's predominantly economically disadvantaged 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.
