Rann Elementary

Summary:

Rann Elementary is a public elementary school located in Decatur, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 549. The school is part of the Decatur Independent School District, which is ranked 481 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rann Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (55.74%) and a lower percentage of White students (40.8%). However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 1203 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to 3476 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023 (1-star rating). This decline is reflected in the school's STAAR test scores, which are generally lower than the district and state averages. Rann Elementary's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing well for special education students but struggling with other subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Rann Elementary, ranging from 46.91% to 63.02% over the past three school years, is significantly higher than the nearby STEM Academy at Enis Elementary (21.74%) and Paradise Intermediate (30.39%). This suggests that Rann Elementary may face additional challenges in terms of resource allocation, student support, and addressing the unique needs of students from low-income backgrounds. By closely examining the underlying factors contributing to these issues and learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, the school and district can develop a comprehensive plan to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience 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.
