Austin Elementary

Summary:

Austin Elementary is a public elementary school in Weatherford, Texas, serving 503 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Weatherford Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 383 out of 968 districts in the state.

Austin Elementary has consistently outperformed the Weatherford ISD and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores, particularly in 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade reading and math. The school's special education and gifted and talented students also excel, ranking in the top quartile and top 10% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. However, the school faces challenges in addressing the performance gaps of its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, as well as improving its science proficiency.

Compared to nearby schools, Stuard Elementary and McCall Elementary in the Aledo ISD significantly outperform Austin Elementary, ranking in the top 10% of Texas elementary schools. This suggests that factors such as district resources and socioeconomic composition may play a significant role in student outcomes.

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.
