S F Austin Elementary

Summary:

S F Austin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Jones Creek, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 265 and is part of the Brazosport Independent School District.

S F Austin Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (47.92%) and a lower percentage of White students (44.15%). However, the school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,745 and 2,937 out of 4,578 to 4,675 schools over the past several years, placing it in the bottom 40-50% of Texas elementary schools. The school performs better for its Hispanic and Special Education student groups, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools, but struggles with its White, Gifted and Talented, and At-Risk student groups, ranking in the bottom 50%. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science.

Interestingly, S F Austin Elementary's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping and its star rating decreasing from 3 to 2 stars. The school also has a high percentage of students (73.96% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic disadvantage among the student population. While S F Austin Elementary is part of the same school district as the nearby Bess Brannen Elementary and Gladys Polk Elementary, which have significantly higher statewide rankings and better test scores, the school's diverse student population and the relatively stronger performance of its Hispanic and Special Education students suggest that targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve the overall academic outcomes at the school.

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.
