Texas Leadership Of Abilene

Summary:

Texas Leadership Of Abilene is a public charter school in Abilene, Texas that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite spending more per student than the state average and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Texas Leadership Of Abilene consistently underperforms the state and district averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. However, the school has seen very low dropout rates, which is a positive indicator. In comparison, the nearby Mullin New Horizons Abiliene school, an alternative school, has even lower STAAR test scores and a smaller student population, highlighting the unique challenges faced by alternative schools.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Texas Leadership Of Abilene may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the needs of this population. Additionally, the school's consistent underperformance on STAAR tests suggests that it may need to re-evaluate its academic programs and instructional strategies to better support student learning. Overall, Texas Leadership Of Abilene faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance, despite its higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio.

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.
