Barton Hills Elementary

Summary:

Barton Hills Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 351 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently ranks among the top 5% of elementary schools in the state, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Barton Hills Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outpacing the Austin Independent School District (AISD) and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 88.89% of 3rd graders, 92.16% of 4th graders, and 90.32% of 5th graders at Barton Hills were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to AISD's 55.65%, 56.78%, and 62.05%, respectively. The school's performance for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, White students, and students with special education needs, is also noteworthy, with the school ranking among the top Texas elementary schools in these categories.

Barton Hills Elementary's success is further highlighted by its relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 8.12% to 11.11% over the past three school years, significantly lower than the state and district averages. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. When compared to nearby schools, such as Dawson Elementary, which has significantly lower STAAR test scores and a 0-star rating, Barton Hills Elementary stands out as a high-performing outlier within the AISD district, underscoring the importance of understanding the factors that contribute to its success and exploring ways to replicate those practices in other schools.

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.
