Summary:

Blanton Elementary is a public elementary school in Carrollton, Texas, serving 473 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 407 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Blanton Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading was 40%, 45.65%, and 43.4%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 56.23%, 57.5%, and 60.83%, and the state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than their peers in the state, while White, Asian, and Gifted and Talented students perform significantly worse.

Blanton Elementary's high percentage of low-income students, with 79.49% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Rainwater Elementary, Davis Elementary, Good Elementary, and Country Place Elementary, which have higher STAAR test scores, higher statewide rankings, and better SchoolDigger ratings. Addressing the significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups at Blanton Elementary may be crucial for improving the overall educational outcomes at 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.
