Tenie Holmes Elementary

Summary:

Tenie Holmes Elementary is a public elementary school in Bay City, Texas, serving 780 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Bay City Independent School District, which is ranked 662 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Tenie Holmes Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, male, and economically disadvantaged students, as well as students with special needs and English language learners. While the school spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than the district average, these resources do not appear to be effectively addressing the learning needs of the student population.

Comparing Tenie Holmes Elementary to nearby schools, such as Newgulf Elementary and Blessing Elementary, which are part of different school districts, reveals significantly higher academic performance and overall school rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Tenie Holmes Elementary may be systemic within the Bay City Independent School District, and a more comprehensive approach to improving educational outcomes may be necessary.

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.
