Compared to nearby schools, the school has a higher percentage of white students than Bertram Elementary (59.13%) and a lower percentage of Hispanic students than Highland Lakes Elementary (76.94%) and Marble Falls Elementary (40.18%). The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state and district averages in reading, math, and science, and lower than nearby schools like Kline Whitis Elementary and Colt Elementary.

Rj Richey Elementary's performance has been inconsistent, ranging from a high of 4 stars in 2020-2021 to a low of 2 stars in recent years. The school also faces disparities in student subgroup outcomes, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (57.29%), which may be contributing to the overall academic challenges. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, focus on equity-driven practices, and explore strategies used by higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
