Blanchette Elementary

Summary:

Blanchette Elementary is a public elementary school in Beaumont, Texas, serving 568 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Beaumont Independent School District, which is ranked 869 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blanchette Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 78.87% African American, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools based on statewide rankings, and its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, over 96% of Blanchette Elementary's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite spending around $9,600 per student, which is slightly higher than the district average, the school's performance has remained persistently low for the past decade.

While other nearby schools in the Beaumont ISD, such as Dr. Mae E. Jones-Clark Elementary and Martin Elementary, also struggle with low performance, Blanchette Elementary consistently ranks lower than these schools. This suggests that the challenges faced by Blanchette Elementary may be more severe or entrenched, and addressing the underlying factors, such as the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's low spending per student, will be crucial in improving student 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.

Open Quote Teachers have a negative attitude and toward students who are not immediately compliant. Students who have difficulty are labelled sneaky and stubborn. Poor classroom and school management. Bad experience especially for male students. Close Quote

Open Quote This school is very under funded and the teachers don't pay enough attention to the students because their classes are too big. Close Quote

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.
