Wooten Elementary

Summary:

Wooten Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 347 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 554 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wooten Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Austin ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.5% of 3rd graders at Wooten were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 55.65% for Austin ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's ranking has also declined over the years, from 1,495 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 2,834 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wooten Elementary has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages, and likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Despite spending more per student ($13,512 in 2020-2021) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 in 2022-2023, Wooten Elementary's academic performance is consistently lower than the nearby Barrington Elementary, Reilly Elementary, and Gullett Elementary, which are also part of the Austin ISD.

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.
