Wimbish World Language Academy

Q: Is Wimbish World Language Academy a good school?

Wimbish World Language Academy ranks 2487 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Wimbish World Language Academy is a public magnet elementary school in Arlington, Texas that serves students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. With a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic, the school consistently outperforms the Arlington Independent School District (ISD) and the state of Texas in academic performance, particularly in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments.

Wimbish World Language Academy's strong academic performance extends across various student subgroups, including male students, African American students, and Hispanic students, often ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 10 students per teacher, lower than the nearby schools and the district average. This combination of academic excellence and supportive learning environment is particularly noteworthy given that over 77% of Wimbish's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools in the Arlington ISD, such as Hill Elementary and Butler Elementary, Wimbish World Language Academy stands out for its more diverse student population, higher academic performance, and lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests that the school may be employing effective strategies to support the academic achievement of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, providing valuable insights for other schools serving similar demographics.

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.
