Patrick Elementary

Summary:

Patrick Elementary is an elementary school located in Grand Prairie, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 576. 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.

Patrick Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.22% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 37.83% in the district and 48.85% statewide. The school has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, with 92.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and increasing spending per student have not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Johns Elementary, Berry Elementary, and Remynse Elementary, also perform below the district and state averages on STAAR tests, but generally have higher academic achievement than Patrick Elementary. The school's English Language Learners (ELLs) perform relatively better than the school's overall performance, while the special education students and gifted and talented students perform significantly worse.

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.
