Charlotte Elementary

Summary:

Charlotte Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Charlotte Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 207 that is predominantly Hispanic (83.09% in 2022-2023). Despite its higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, Charlotte Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating in recent years.

Charlotte Elementary's academic performance is a significant concern, with STAAR test scores that are significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.47% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance is also lower than the Charlotte ISD average, indicating that Charlotte Elementary is underperforming compared to other schools in the district. Additionally, certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, perform particularly poorly at Charlotte Elementary compared to their peers statewide.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Pleasanton Pri, Poteet Elementary, and Jourdanton Elementary, generally perform better than Charlotte Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher state-wide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Charlotte Elementary are not necessarily shared by all the schools in the surrounding area, and there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools.

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.
