Coleman Elementary

Summary:

Coleman Elementary is a public elementary school in Cleburne, Texas, serving 518 students in grades PK-4. 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.

While Coleman Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (57.72%) compared to nearby schools like Santa Fe Elementary, its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, only 32.88% of 3rd graders and 40.79% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Reading, compared to the district's 38.22% and 43.33%, and the state's 48.85% and 50.66%, respectively. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year, lower than the 3-star rating of Gerard Elementary and the 4-star rating of Plum Creek Elementary in the Joshua ISD.

Coleman Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for Hispanic students and students with low socioeconomic status, but in the top 50% for special education students. The school also has a high percentage of students (64.67% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the surrounding schools. These factors, along with the school's declining performance over the past few years, suggest that Coleman Elementary may be facing challenges related to the socioeconomic status and unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
