Argyle West

Summary:

Argyle West is an exemplary elementary school located in Argyle, Texas, serving 845 students in grades PK-5. As part of the highly-ranked Argyle Independent School District, Argyle West has consistently maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its strong academic performance.

Argyle West's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high STAAR test scores, which outperform both the state and district averages across various grade levels and subjects. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, Argyle West's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was 80.65%, compared to the district's 72.62% and the state's 48.85%. The school's diverse student population, which includes 66.86% White, 14.2% Hispanic, and 10.06% Asian students, is also noteworthy, as many nearby schools, such as Argyle South Elementary and Hilltop Elementary, have a more homogeneous student body. Argyle West's performance across different student subgroups, including male students, Asian students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs, is also impressive, with the school ranking highly in the state for these groups.

Particularly impressive is Argyle West's success in serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who make up only around 4% of the student population but have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup. While Argyle West's overall performance is outstanding, there may be opportunities to further enhance the achievement of specific subgroups, such as Asian students and students with special needs, whose rankings, while still strong, are slightly lower than the school's overall performance.

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.
