Alice Moore Alexander

Summary:

Alice Moore Alexander is an elementary school in Denton, Texas that serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Denton Independent School District, which is ranked 565 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alice Moore Alexander faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below the Denton ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and African American students, as well as for its Gifted and Talented students. With a very high percentage (72.95%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's high level of economic disadvantage is likely a contributing factor to its low academic performance. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student ($11,520 in 2020-2021) and having a low student-teacher ratio (12.7 in 2022-2023), the school's inputs do not seem to be translating into improved outcomes for its students.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Denton ISD, such as Nelson Elementary, Evers Park Elementary, and Nette Shultz, Alice Moore Alexander performs significantly worse on academic measures. These nearby schools have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Additionally, Alice Moore Alexander's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state and may need targeted interventions to address the underlying issues.

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.
