Despite its higher spending per student compared to the state average, Mazie Gable Elementary consistently underperforms academically, with proficiency rates in Math (22.3%) and English Language Arts (40.3%) that are significantly lower than the district (36.5% and 48.3%) and state (40.4% and 53%) averages. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic students ranking highly but its White and low-income students performing poorly.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Red Lion Area School District, Mazie Gable generally performs worse academically, despite its higher spending per student. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and socioeconomic status may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and that a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems for students could help improve academic outcomes 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.

Open Quote Mazie Gable is an awesome school. The red lion school district is amazing. I don't know why the rating is low but the teachers are truly a gift and all the staff are just wonderful people. Mazie Gable teaches students to be responsible and productive citizens. Close Quote

Open Quote My 5 year old son goes to kindergarten here. I've tried multiple times to get in contact with his teacher with questions or concerns and never once received a response from her (and we're coming to the end of the school year).

When we were enrolling they tried to push us off to another (even worse school) and the man responsible for these transfers tried to tell me that I had no choice in the matter. I knew this wasn't the case, and we couldn't go two miles away because we needed to be able to walk to school. I was only able to reverse this transfer by making a formal complaint to the principle at Mazie Gable.

I'm also disgusted by the amount of junk food promotion at this school. I'm not a total prude, but in one week, we had a homework sheet where they practiced writing about going to Mcdonalds, Wendys, HEB and Taco Bell, as well as a sheet offering a prize if they eat enough Lucky Charms to get box tops, a sheet where they sorted and ate Lucky Charms at school, and they have all the kids hyped up about going to Chuck E. Cheese to raise money for the PTO (which we can't go to and of course he's miserably disappointed about). This is only in one week. They also get candy almost every day, and their ideas of healthy food are lousy at best.

When I contacted the principal she was very combative and basically told me that these activities are good for the kids learning and there is nothing they plan to do about it. Essentially she gave me the cold-shoulder-shrug off, and of course his teacher (who I called first) never responded to me at all. Close Quote

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.
