Golden Rule Grand Prairie

Summary:

Golden Rule Grand Prairie is a small public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Grand Prairie, Texas, with a student population of just 76 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

While Golden Rule Grand Prairie has a predominantly Hispanic student body, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on the STAAR assessments, with only 10% of 3rd graders proficient in reading in 2023-2024 versus the state average of 48.85% and the district average of 57.14%. The school also serves a high-poverty population, with 88-97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years. Despite these challenges, Golden Rule Grand Prairie's male students and low socioeconomic status students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 3 stars out of 5 in Texas for those subgroups. Interestingly, several nearby public schools, such as Ervin C Whitt Elementary and Ellen Ochoa STEM Academy, outperform Golden Rule Grand Prairie on state assessments, despite serving similar student demographics.

One factor that may contribute to Golden Rule Grand Prairie's lower academic performance is its lower per-student spending, ranging from $8,107 to $9,700, compared to the nearby public schools. Additionally, the school has seen a significant shift in its student racial composition, with the Hispanic student population increasing from 90% to 94.23% over the past 3 school years. Overall, Golden Rule Grand Prairie faces significant challenges in student academic performance, high poverty rates, and small school size compared to the nearby public schools, suggesting the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve 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.
