Summary:

Birdville Elementary is a public elementary school in Haltom City, Texas, serving 489 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Birdville Independent School District (ISD). The school faces several challenges, including a high-needs student population, declining academic performance, and significant achievement gaps among subgroups.

Birdville Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (67.28%) compared to the district (62.47%) and the state (48.53%), as well as a lower percentage of White students (22.09%) compared to the district (26.57%) and the state (27.35%). The school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with 3rd grade reading proficiency (41.03%) falling below the district (47%) and state (48.85%) averages. However, the school's special education students perform relatively well, ranking 942 out of 4,086 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Birdville Elementary's performance has steadily declined over the past several years, from a statewide ranking of 2,595 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 2,614 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as West Birdville Elementary and Alliene Mullendore Elementary, Birdville Elementary's performance lags behind, despite spending more per student ($11,056 in 2020-2021) than the district average.

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.
