Pinkerton Elementary

Summary:

Pinkerton Elementary is a public elementary school in Coppell, Texas, serving 357 students in grades PK-5. As part of the highly-ranked Coppell Independent School District, Pinkerton Elementary consistently performs among the top elementary schools in the state.

Pinkerton Elementary's academic performance is truly impressive, with students scoring significantly higher than the state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. The school particularly excels in reading, with 91.67% of 5th-graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.96%. In math, 78.33% of 5th-graders scored proficient or better, outpacing the state average of 48.96%. Pinkerton's special education and gifted and talented programs also rank among the best in Texas, demonstrating the school's commitment to supporting all students.

While Pinkerton Elementary's academic achievements are noteworthy, the school's student population is also unique.

However, other nearby schools, like Richard J. Lee Elementary and Canyon Ranch Elementary, also demonstrate exceptional academic performance, providing families in the Coppell area with multiple high-quality educational options.

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.
