Oliver Elementary

Summary:

Oliver Elementary is a public elementary school in Stamford, Texas, serving 303 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Stamford Independent School District, which is ranked 281 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Oliver Elementary faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, significant disparities in student subgroup performance, and lower performance compared to nearby schools like Hamlin Collegiate Elementary and Haskell Elementary. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 444 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2,785 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and its performance on STAAR tests is generally below state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science.

Notably, Oliver Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students generally performing better than their African American and Hispanic peers. The school also struggles with the performance of its English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate additional resources, and closely examine their instructional practices to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
