Williams Elementary

Summary:

Williams Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 593 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 683 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Williams Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (35.24%) and Hispanic (42.5%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency (40%) was lower than the district (37.83%) and state (48.85%) averages. While the school performs relatively well for Asian and African American students, it struggles with Hispanic and White student performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of the state. Interestingly, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better than the school's overall performance, ranking in the top 2 quartiles in the state for the past three years.

Despite the school's challenges, it generally performs better than the nearby McNutt Elementary and FitzGerald Elementary, which have lower statewide rankings and test scores. Additionally, Williams Elementary's per-student spending has increased over the years, and its student-teacher ratio has decreased, which may indicate a focus on providing more individualized attention to students. However, the significant performance gaps between different student subgroups suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address these inequities and improve student outcomes across all subgroups.

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.
