Axtell Elementary

Summary:

Axtell Elementary is a public elementary school serving 397 students in grades PK-5 in the Axtell Independent School District. Despite having a significantly higher percentage of white students (76.57%) compared to nearby schools, Axtell Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages on STAAR assessments across reading, math, and science.

Axtell Elementary's gifted and talented program is particularly strong, ranking 17th out of 2,958 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022. The school's special education students also perform very well, ranking in the top 10% of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup in 2020-2021. Even with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students (50.63% in 2022-2023), Axtell Elementary still manages to outperform the state and district on assessments, indicating it is effectively supporting this student group.

The nearby schools, such as Brook Avenue Elementary and J.H. Hines Elementary, have much lower academic performance and higher percentages of economically disadvantaged and minority students. This highlights the stark contrast in educational outcomes between Axtell Elementary and these lower-performing schools. Axtell Elementary's consistent high performance, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, is an impressive feat, especially given the school's significant population of economically disadvantaged 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.

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.
