Summary:

Boone Elementary has shown strong academic performance, particularly in reading, with 3rd-5th grade students outperforming the district and state averages in STAAR Reading proficiency. In 2023-2024, 69.12% of 5th-grade students at Boone Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 62.05% for the district and 53.96% for the state. However, the school's performance in STAAR Mathematics has been more mixed, with 3rd-5th grade students sometimes underperforming the district and state averages. Boone Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years, ranking in the top third of Texas elementary schools, though its ranking has fluctuated in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Boone Elementary's performance is generally stronger than some, such as Kocurek Elementary and Cunningham Elementary, which have lower rankings and test scores. However, other nearby schools, like Kiker Elementary and Mills Elementary, significantly outperform Boone Elementary in both academic achievement and school rankings. This suggests that while Boone Elementary is a strong-performing school, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing disparities in student group performance and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students.

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.

Open Quote An excellent neighborhood school with a focus on environmental stewardship & science.
The principle is an excellent leader with both old school values & cutting edge ideas. He has obtained numerous grants making our school the only in the United States that is both 100 solar & has a well appointed makerspace.
The PTA is highly active & funds a number of value added activities. The kids are super diverse & over half the school is on the free lunch program. Everyone including parents & teachers & super cool in the old keep Austin weird way. Close Quote

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.
