Kiker Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 789 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Austin Independent School District, Kiker consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic achievement across all grade levels and subjects.

Kiker Elementary's student population is more racially diverse than the district and state averages, with a higher percentage of White (61.72%) and Asian (12.8%) students. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 6.58% to 9.75% over the past three years, indicating a higher socioeconomic status of the student population. Additionally, Kiker maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 19.2 over the past three years, which is lower than many nearby schools such as Patton Elementary, Baldwin Elementary, and Boone Elementary.

Kiker Elementary's consistent high performance is noteworthy, as the school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years. This exceptional academic achievement is not solely dependent on the socioeconomic status of the student population, as the school outperforms many nearby schools within the Austin Independent School District. While Kiker's overall performance is exceptional, there may be opportunities to further support the academic growth of specific student subgroups, such as male students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.

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.
