Summary:

David L Walker Elt is an elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 417 students in grades PK-5. 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.

David L Walker Elt has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and science well below the state's. However, the school's Spanish-speaking students have performed relatively well on STAAR Spanish tests. The school also shows significant disparities in performance among different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing better than Asian, White, and Gifted and Talented students. Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than nearby schools, David L Walker Elt's academic outcomes have been inconsistent and concerning.

Compared to other schools in the Crowley ISD, such as J A Hargrave Elementary, Meadowcreek Elementary, and Dan Powell Early Learning Academy, David L Walker Elt generally underperforms on state assessments. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school (87.05%) may contribute to these academic challenges, and addressing the disparities in student group performance will be crucial for improving outcomes for all students.

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.
