Bluebonnet Elementary

Summary:

Bluebonnet Elementary is a public elementary school in Bastrop, Texas, serving 761 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bastrop Independent School District, which is ranked 824 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bluebonnet Elementary faces significant challenges compared to its peers. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (75.56%) than surrounding schools, and its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the Bastrop ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.84% of 3rd graders at Bluebonnet were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 28.6% for Bastrop ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2,361 and 4,081 out of 4,000-4,600 schools over the past 10 years.

Bluebonnet Elementary's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rate of over 77%, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. However, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,264 in the 2020-2021 school year suggests that the district is investing resources in the school. Nearby schools like Mina Elementary and Emile Elementary have higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings, while Bluebonnet still outperforms some schools in the Del Valle Independent School District, such as Del Valle Elementary and Hornsby-Dunlap 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.
