McNutt Elementary

Summary:

McNutt Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 666 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Arlington Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. McNutt's student population is diverse, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

McNutt Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 34.85% to 39.56%, compared to the state average of 48.85% to 54.45%. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.67% to 55.71%, compared to the state average of 37.1% to 44.67%. This underperformance is consistent across all student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students.

While McNutt Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $9,850, its academic challenges are not being effectively addressed. The school's performance is significantly lower than most of its nearby counterparts, such as Williams Elementary, Atherton Elementary, and Hale Elementary, suggesting that there may be specific factors within McNutt Elementary that are contributing to its underperformance. Addressing these challenges and providing targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes for all students at McNutt Elementary.

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.
