Austwell-Tivoli Elementary

Summary:

Austwell-Tivoli Elementary is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Austwell-Tivoli Independent School District (ISD) in Tivoli, Texas, with a student population of just 78 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a unique student demographic, with a predominantly Hispanic (56.41%) and White (42.31%) student body.

One of the key differentiators of Austwell-Tivoli Elementary is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.6 to 8.7 students per teacher over the past three years, significantly lower than the nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 10.6 to 17.5 students per teacher. Additionally, the school spends significantly more per student, at $17,394 per student in the 2020-2021 school year, compared to the nearby schools, which spent between $9,620 and $12,340 per student. However, the school's STAAR test scores, particularly in reading and mathematics, are generally lower than the state and district averages, with some exceptions, such as the 4th grade reading proficiency rate being higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the percentage of Hispanic students at Austwell-Tivoli Elementary has been decreasing over the past three school years, from 71.79% in 2020-2021 to 56.41% in 2022-2023, in contrast to the nearby schools, which have a higher and relatively stable percentage of Hispanic students. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas, with some strong performances, such as in 4th grade reading and 5th grade mathematics, and some weaker performances, such as in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade science. These factors, along with the school's small size, high spending per student, and low student-teacher ratio, suggest that there may be other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or student demographics, that are influencing the school's academic outcomes.

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.
