Savannah Elementary

Summary:

Savannah Elementary is a public elementary school located in Aubrey, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 740. The school is part of the Denton Independent School District, which is ranked 565 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Savannah Elementary has a diverse student population, with 36.08% White, 27.84% African American, 20.41% Hispanic, and 5.68% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades was 30.97%, 41.46%, and 50.39%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 45.69%, 48.41%, and 53.59%, and the state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. Savannah Elementary's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have also declined over the years, from a ranking of 1183 out of 4479 Texas elementary schools and a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a ranking of 3651 out of 4675 and a 1-star rating in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sandbrock Ranch Elementary, Windsong Ranch Elementary, and Jackie Fuller Elementary, which are also part of the Denton Independent School District, Savannah Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures. This suggests that the school may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies employed by its higher-performing counterparts. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (35.54% free/reduced lunch recipients in 2022-2023) and the district's relatively low ranking may be contributing factors to Savannah Elementary's academic challenges.

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.
