Riverchase Ele

Summary:

Riverchase Elementary School is an elementary school located in Coppell, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

Riverchase Elementary has shown mixed performance on STAAR tests, with strengths in certain grade levels and subject areas, but weaknesses in others. While the school's 4th and 5th-grade reading and math proficiencies were higher than the district and state averages, its 3rd-grade proficiencies were lower. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with its Asian and English Language Learner (ELL) students performing well, but its African American and economically disadvantaged students lagging behind. Riverchase Elementary's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the relatively low performance of its low socioeconomic status students, suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, Coppell Classical Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Riverchase Elementary and the district on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and mathematics. Similarly, Lakeside Elementary and Canyon Ranch Elementary, both part of the Coppell Independent School District (ISD), also significantly outperform Riverchase Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings. Understanding the factors contributing to these higher-performing schools' success could provide valuable insights for Riverchase Elementary to improve its overall academic performance and provide a more equitable education for all its students.

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.
