Bird Education Center

Summary:

Allan K & Carolyn H Bird Education Center is a small, high-performing elementary school in Plano, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With just 58 students enrolled, the school stands out for its exceptional academic achievements, diverse student population, and low student-teacher ratio.

Academically, the school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Texas, with students significantly outperforming their peers in the Plano Independent School District and the state of Texas on the STAAR assessments. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's 3rd and 4th-grade students achieved 76% and 80% proficiency in STAAR Reading, compared to the district's 65% and 61%, and the state's 50% and 47%. The school's exceptional performance is a testament to the effectiveness of its instructional practices and the dedication of its teachers.

Another notable aspect of Allan K & Carolyn H Bird Education Center is its diverse student population, with a majority of Asian students (63.79%) and lower percentages of White and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools. This diversity may contribute to the school's academic success, as research has shown that diverse learning environments can foster critical thinking and cultural understanding. Additionally, the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 students per teacher likely play a role in its academic achievements, providing students with more individualized attention and support.

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.
