Hale Elementary

Summary:

Hale Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 375 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD). The school's student population is predominantly African American (58.93%) and Hispanic (29.33%), with academic performance generally lower than district and state averages.

Hale Elementary's STAAR test scores lag behind, with proficiency rates ranging from 25.64% to 52.63% in Reading and 23.4% to 35.71% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 43.98% to 37.83% and 33.73% to 33.53%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade Science, with only 4.26% of students proficient or better, compared to the district's 16.43% and the state's 26.29%. Notably, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively better than Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Hale Elementary's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are similar to nearby schools in the Arlington ISD, such as Johns Elementary, Rankin Elementary, and McNutt Elementary, these nearby schools generally perform better on STAAR assessments. However, these schools also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that the challenges faced by Hale Elementary may be systemic within the district.

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.
