West Birdville Elementary

Summary:

West Birdville Elementary is a public elementary school in Haltom City, Texas, serving 694 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Birdville Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 450 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While West Birdville Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (85.45%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the Birdville ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science. The school struggles with the academic performance of several student subgroups, including female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. With 85.22% to 90.84% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, West Birdville Elementary serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Interestingly, while West Birdville Elementary is part of the Birdville ISD, nearby schools in the Fort Worth ISD generally outperform it academically, despite serving similar student populations. For example, Riverside Applied Learning Center, less than a mile away, outperforms West Birdville Elementary across multiple STAAR assessments. Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, West Birdville Elementary's academic performance has continued to decline, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve 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.

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.
