Amos Elementary

Summary:

Amos Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 381 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Arlington Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Amos Elementary has seen a decline in its academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,338 out of 4,359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 3,404 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.95% to 48.89% in reading and 31.11% to 42.22% in mathematics. However, the school's English Language Learner and Special Education students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 50% and top 40% of Texas elementary schools, respectively.

Amos Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 88.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's spending per student, at $11,881 in 2020-2021, is also higher than the district and state averages, which may be a reflection of the school's efforts to support its high-needs student population. Despite these efforts, the school's academic challenges, particularly among its African American students, suggest that targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

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.
