Otto M Fridia Elementary

Summary:

Otto M Fridia Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 197 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($15,019 in 2020-2021) than the district and state averages, Otto M Fridia Elementary consistently underperforms on STAAR tests, with only 25-28.57% of students proficient or better in reading and 16.67-21.43% proficient or better in math, compared to 41.82-49.81% and 35.08-45.09% for the district, respectively. The school's African American students perform relatively better than the overall student population, but its Hispanic and male students perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas schools for these subgroups.

When compared to nearby schools within the Dallas Independent School District, Otto M Fridia Elementary stands out as an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, Harry Stone Montessori Academy, located just 1.54 miles away, consistently outperforms Otto M Fridia Elementary and the district as a whole on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for a more comprehensive approach to improving educational outcomes at Otto M Fridia Elementary.

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.
