Newton Rayzor Elementary

Summary:

Newton Rayzor Elementary is a public elementary school in Denton, Texas that serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population and a mix of academic strengths and weaknesses, the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years.

Newton Rayzor has a relatively even split between White and Hispanic students, along with smaller percentages of other racial groups. Academically, the school performs reasonably well in reading and mathematics, but struggles in science proficiency and with certain student subgroups, particularly English Language Learners and socioeconomically disadvantaged students. Compared to nearby schools, Newton Rayzor generally outperforms Hodge Elementary and Alice Moore Alexander, but lags behind the higher-performing Nette Shultz and Houston Elementary schools in the Denton Independent School District.

The school's declining statewide ranking over time suggests the need for continued improvement efforts, particularly in addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Newton Rayzor serves a relatively disadvantaged community, which may contribute to its academic challenges. Overall, the school's performance highlights the importance of targeted interventions and support to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.

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.
