Sidney H Poynter

Summary:

Sidney H Poynter is an elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 422 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Crowley Independent School District, which is ranked 750 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Sidney H Poynter consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.69% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 37.83% in the Crowley ISD. The school's low performance is particularly concerning for African American and White students, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of their respective peer groups statewide.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Crowley ISD, such as Meadowcreek Elementary and Parkway Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures and have similar demographic profiles to Sidney H Poynter. In contrast, the schools in the Burleson Independent School District, such as Judy Hajek Elementary and Ann Brock Elementary at Oak Grove, significantly outperform the Crowley ISD schools, despite serving a more diverse student population. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the persistent academic challenges faced by Sidney H Poynter and the broader Crowley ISD.

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.
