Boyd Elementary

Q: Is Boyd Elementary a good school?

Boyd Elementary ranks 2286 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Boyd Elementary is a public elementary school serving 478 students in grades PK-4 in the Boyd Independent School District in Boyd, Texas. The school's student population is predominantly White (71.55%), with a significant Hispanic population (22.59%) and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

While Boyd Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.9% to 61.79% over the past three school years, its academic performance on STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments for 3rd and 4th grades is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby schools, such as Stem Academy at Enis Elementary and Paradise Intermediate. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups.

The data shows a concerning trend of declining student performance on STAAR assessments at Boyd Elementary over the past few years, with proficiency rates in both Reading and Mathematics falling below state averages. This decline, coupled with the school's high poverty rates, suggests the need for targeted interventions and comprehensive support to address the unique challenges facing the Boyd Elementary community and improve outcomes for all students.

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.
