Quitman Elementary

Summary:

Quitman Elementary is a public elementary school in Quitman, Texas, serving 581 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Quitman Independent School District, which is ranked 221 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Quitman Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Reading and Mathematics, where it exceeds the state average on STAAR tests. For example, in 2023-2024, 53.57% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. However, the school has a higher percentage of White students (78.66%) compared to the state, and its rankings for different racial subgroups vary significantly, with lower rankings for Hispanic, multi-racial, and special education students. Despite these disparities, the school effectively supports students from low-income families, as evidenced by its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (63.68%).

When compared to nearby schools, Quitman Elementary generally outperforms schools in the Grand Saline, Winnsboro, and Yantis school districts on STAAR test scores and school rankings. However, some nearby schools, such as College Street Elementary and Mineola Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance. One area of concern for Quitman Elementary is the decline in its Gifted and Talented program, which has dropped significantly in statewide rankings over the years.

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.
