Arden Road Elementary

Summary:

Arden Road Elementary is a public elementary school serving 421 students in grades PK-4 in the Canyon Independent School District in Amarillo, Texas. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (64.61%), with significant Hispanic (25.42%) and smaller percentages of African American (3.56%), Asian (2.38%), and students of two or more races (4.04%).

Arden Road Elementary consistently outperforms the Canyon Independent School District and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores for both reading and mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 68.89% of 3rd graders and 66.29% of 4th graders at Arden Road Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 57.75% and 57.98% for the district, and 48.85% and 50.66% for the state. The school has a strong statewide ranking, typically placing in the top 15% of Texas elementary schools, and it excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, ranking in the top 2% for special education students and the top 10% for Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students.

While Arden Road Elementary's performance is exceptional within its immediate district, it faces competition from other top-performing schools in the broader Amarillo region. Schools like Windsor Elementary and Puckett Elementary, which are part of the Amarillo Independent School District, also demonstrate strong academic results, particularly in reading. This suggests that while Arden Road Elementary is a standout performer, it may not be as uniquely differentiated when considering a broader geographic area.

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.
