Seymour Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (62.45%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of Hispanic (23.47%) and African American (2.89%) students. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade STAAR test scores in reading and math are generally higher than the state averages, indicating strong academic performance. Notably, the school's 4th-grade reading proficiency rate (68.89%) was significantly higher than the state average (50.66%), and its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate (71.74%) was much higher than the state average (40.86%). Seymour Elementary has consistently high rankings for its special education and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, suggesting effective support and resources for these students.

While the school's racial makeup has become more diverse over the past few years, the fluctuating rankings for White and Hispanic student subgroups indicate that academic achievement may be influenced by factors beyond just race. Seymour Elementary spends around $9,265 per student, which is slightly lower than the state average, and has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio. The school may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address areas of variability, such as 3rd-grade reading proficiency, to ensure continued academic success for all students.

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.
