W A Martin Elementary

Summary:

W A Martin Elementary is a public elementary school in Crandall, Texas, serving 644 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Crandall Independent School District, which is ranked 730 out of 968 districts in the state.

W A Martin Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners struggling the most. Despite spending around $9,400 per student, which is slightly lower than the state average, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15:1 is similar to nearby schools in the Crandall ISD.

Comparing W A Martin Elementary to other schools in the area highlights the need for the Crandall ISD to address the underlying factors contributing to these disparities. The school's performance lags significantly behind nearby schools in the Forney Independent School District and the Dallas Independent School District, such as Willett Elementary and Central Elementary, which have much higher proficiency rates on state assessments and higher overall rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at W A Martin Elementary suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the school's academic performance.

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.
