Dalhart Intermediate

Summary:

Dalhart Intermediate is an elementary school in Dalhart, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with 385 students. The school is part of the Dalhart Independent School District, which is ranked 759 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Dalhart Intermediate faces several challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (68.51% to 74.29%) compared to the state average, and consistently low academic performance on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 24.03% in 3rd grade reading to 41.91% in 4th grade reading, well below the state averages. The school's student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and low-income students, also perform poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile or third of the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (58.44% to 71.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Dalhart Intermediate's spending per student has increased over the past few years, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. In comparison, Dalhart Elementary, a nearby school in the same district, has a similar student population but a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to better 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.
