Callisburg Elementary

Summary:

Callisburg Elementary is a public elementary school in Gainesville, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 549 students. The school stands out for its significantly higher percentage of White students (77.96%) compared to nearby schools, but its academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in some areas and struggles in others.

While Callisburg Elementary has performed well in 5th-grade reading and math, its 3rd-grade reading proficiency (34.18%) is notably lower than the state average (48.85%), and its 5th-grade science proficiency (26.14%) is on par with the state average (26.29%). The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with its Gifted and Talented students ranking highly (137 out of 2,980 Texas elementary schools), but its Hispanic and At-Risk students performing poorly (ranked 3,914 out of 4,401 and 3,845 out of 4,461, respectively). Additionally, Callisburg Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.36% to 49.91% over the past three school years, which is higher than some nearby schools, such as Lindsay Elementary, which has a free and reduced lunch rate of only 8.95%.

Interestingly, Callisburg Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from a high of 297 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 (5-star rating) to 2,963 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. These findings indicate that Callisburg Elementary may need to focus on addressing equity and achievement gaps to ensure that all students, regardless of their background or subgroup, have the resources and support they need to succeed.

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.
