Shamrock Elementary

Summary:

Shamrock Elementary is a public elementary school in Shamrock, Texas, serving 176 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Shamrock Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 627 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shamrock Elementary has a diverse student population, with the majority being White (56.25%) and Hispanic (32.39%) students. However, the school's academic performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 1,742 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 4,355 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. The school's STAAR proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages in reading, math, and science for grades 3-5. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with special education and at-risk students performing particularly poorly.

Shamrock Elementary faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (68.75% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and declining academic performance. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.7 to 10.9 students per teacher, the academic outcomes have not improved. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate resources more effectively, and explore strategies to support the unique needs of their diverse 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.
