Walt Disney Elementary

Summary:

Walt Disney Elementary is a public elementary school in Alvin, Texas, serving 439 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Alvin Independent School District, which is ranked 333 out of 968 districts in the state.

Walt Disney Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of Texas elementary schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in 5th grade reading and 6th grade math. The school has performed well with certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the top half or top quarter of Texas elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's performance with African American and White student subgroups has been more mixed. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces challenges related to economic disadvantage, but it has also seen increased spending per student, suggesting a commitment to investing in its students' education.

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.
