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.
