Furneaux Elementary

Summary:

Furneaux Elementary is a public elementary school in Carrollton, Texas, serving 425 students in grades PK-5. It 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.

Furneaux Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (28.94%) and Hispanic (45.65%) students compared to nearby schools like Blanton Elementary and Indian Creek Elementary. Academically, the school has shown mixed performance, outperforming the district and state in 3rd grade STAAR Reading and Math, but underperforming in 5th grade STAAR Reading and Science. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.24% to 77.96%, indicates significant socioeconomic challenges, but the school's higher per-student spending of $12,036 suggests the district is allocating additional resources to support these students.

Compared to nearby schools, Furneaux Elementary stands out for its racial diversity and socioeconomic status, but it is still able to achieve strong results in certain grade levels and subject areas. While some surrounding schools, such as Homestead Elementary, have higher overall academic performance, Furneaux Elementary's strategies appear to be effectively supporting its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, with room for continued improvement.

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.
