Mary Harris Elementary

Summary:

Mary Harris Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fort Worth, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 389. The school is part of the Crowley Independent School District, which is ranked 750 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-to-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages, Mary Harris Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,376 and 4,457 out of around 4,600 schools over the past few years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This suggests that the school faces significant challenges in effectively educating its student population, which is predominantly African American (68.12%) and has a very high percentage of students from low-income families (87.15%).

When comparing Mary Harris Elementary to other nearby schools in the Crowley Independent School District, such as Jackie Carden Elementary and S H Crowley Elementary, it becomes clear that the academic performance challenges are not unique to this school. This suggests that the issues faced by Mary Harris Elementary may be systemic within the district, requiring a district-wide approach to address the underlying factors contributing to the poor academic outcomes.

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.
