Jack Taylor Elementary

Summary:

Jack Taylor Elementary is a public elementary school in Burleson, Texas, serving 544 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Burleson Independent School District, which is ranked 245 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Jack Taylor Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (67.65%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 16.3% to 53.53% Hispanic. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.22% to 70.96% over the past three years, much higher than the nearby Bess Race Elementary, Richard Bransom Elementary, and other local schools. Unfortunately, this demographic profile correlates with the school's consistently lower student performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas, often falling below the district and state averages.

Despite the overall lower performance, Jack Taylor Elementary has shown some bright spots, such as its high rankings for English Language Learner (ELL) students and Gifted and Talented students. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 1549 out of 4359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 3405 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 1. Addressing the achievement gaps and implementing effective strategies to support the school's diverse student population will be crucial for improving the school's overall 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.
