Harmony Science Academy - Lubbock

Summary:

Harmony Science Academy - Lubbock is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Lubbock, Texas, with a diverse student population and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Academically, Harmony Science Academy - Lubbock has struggled compared to the state and its local district, Lubbock Independent School District (Isd). The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, and its performance on STAAR assessments is below the district and state averages across most grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has increased, reaching 2.3% in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.4 to 14.4 students per teacher.

When compared to nearby traditional public schools, such as Whiteside Elementary, North Ridge Elementary, and Oak Ridge Elementary (which are part of the Frenship Independent School District (Isd)), Harmony Science Academy - Lubbock generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates on STAAR assessments and lower statewide rankings. The school also faces equity concerns, as there are significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, particularly for female, English Language Learner, and Special Education 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.

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.
