Adams Elementary

Summary:

Adams Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cleburne, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 431. The school is part of the Cleburne Independent School District, which is ranked 693 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adams Elementary has a unique student demographic, with a higher percentage of White (55.92%) and Hispanic (34.11%) students compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 24.94% to 78.4% White and 17.28% to 63.81% Hispanic. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21.52% of 3rd-grade students at Adams Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 38.22% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1507 out of 4286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 3799 out of 4675 in 2023-2024.

Another key factor at Adams Elementary is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.88% to 76.1% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which have free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 50.79% to 90.95%. Despite spending more per student ($10,122 in 2020-2021) compared to the district average ($9,225 in 2018-2019) and some of the nearby schools (e.g., Coleman Elementary at $9,114 in 2020-2021), Adams Elementary's academic performance remains lower, suggesting that the school may need to evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning.

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.
