Overton Elementary

Summary:

Overton Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 424 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 554 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overton Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than district and state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of Overton students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was 29.03% for 3rd grade, 15% for 4th grade, and 25.81% for 5th grade, compared to district averages of 55.65%, 56.78%, and 62.05%, and state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students all ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.

While the nearby schools, such as Norman-Sims Elementary, Magnolia Montessori For All, and Winn Montessori, also struggle academically, some charter schools in the area, like KIPP Alegria Pri, perform better. This suggests that the school's academic challenges may be closely tied to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which is a common trend in education. Addressing these socioeconomic factors, along with targeted interventions and support for the school's diverse student population, could be crucial in driving meaningful improvements at Overton Elementary.

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.
