Castleberry Elementary

Summary:

Castleberry Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 747 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Castleberry Independent School District, which is ranked 737 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Castleberry Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 79.92% Hispanic, well above the state average. The school's academic performance consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with below-average scores on STAAR assessments, particularly in mathematics. Student subgroup performance varies, with African American and White students performing better than Hispanic and English Language Learner students. Additionally, over 87% of Castleberry Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Castleberry Elementary's spending per student has increased in recent years, reaching $9,503 in 2020-2021, this higher funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 16 to 17.4 students per teacher, suggesting that staffing may not be the primary issue. Interestingly, some nearby schools in the Fort Worth Independent School District, such as Burton Hill Elementary and North High Mount Elementary, perform significantly better on STAAR assessments despite serving student populations with higher levels of economic disadvantage.

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.
