L L Hotchkiss Elementary

Summary:

L L Hotchkiss Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the Dallas Independent School District, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic and African American.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, L L Hotchkiss Elementary has struggled academically in recent years. The school ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools and receives a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, with consistently below-average performance on STAAR tests across various subjects and grade levels. This is particularly concerning given that the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 89.6% to 96.01% over the past three years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Lake Highlands Elementary and Mockingbird Elementary, which serve more affluent student populations, L L Hotchkiss Elementary consistently underperforms on academic measures like STAAR proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Addressing the unique needs of the school's diverse and economically disadvantaged student population will be crucial for L L Hotchkiss Elementary to improve its educational outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
