Fulton Learning Center

Summary:

Fulton Learning Center is an elementary school in Fulton, Texas, serving 666 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Rockport-Fulton Independent School District, which is ranked 672 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fulton Learning Center faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on STAAR tests compared to the state average. While the school's Gifted and Talented students perform relatively well, other subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students, struggle significantly, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 70% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the academic disparities. When compared to nearby schools, such as Olsen Elementary and Live Oak Learning Center, Fulton Learning Center is underperforming, suggesting the need for the school and district to identify and implement more effective strategies to support student achievement.

The diverse student population at Fulton Learning Center, with 47.9% White, 44.74% Hispanic, and 2.1% African American students, is different from the nearby Live Oak Learning Center, which has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (49.79%) and a lower percentage of White students (43.35%). This diversity, coupled with the school's academic challenges, highlights the need for Fulton Learning Center to address equity and access issues to ensure all students receive the support they need to succeed.

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.
