Kemp-Carver Elementary

Summary:

Kemp-Carver Elementary is a public elementary school in Bryan, Texas, serving 504 students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Bryan Independent School District, which is ranked 626 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kemp-Carver Elementary faces several key challenges. It has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 92.06% to 94.22% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also consistently underperforms the state and district averages on STAAR tests in both reading and mathematics, with proficiency rates declining in recent years. Additionally, the school's rankings for various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs, are consistently in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Bryan Independent School District, such as Henderson Elementary, Mitchell Elementary, and Anson Jones Elementary, generally perform better than Kemp-Carver Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. However, these nearby schools also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that the challenges faced by Kemp-Carver Elementary are not unique to 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.
