Skyview Elementary

Summary:

Skyview Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 735 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 403 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skyview Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American (43.81%) and Hispanic (34.01%) students compared to nearby schools like Moss Haven Elementary and Merriman Park Elementary, which tend to have a higher percentage of White students. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. Skyview's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, over 87% of Skyview's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $11,000 at Skyview Elementary, which is higher than the nearby schools, the school's academic performance has not improved. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 12-13 students per teacher, which is comparable to or better than the nearby schools. However, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for Skyview's students. The data suggests that Skyview Elementary is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive and targeted approach.

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.
