Kenneth E Little Elementary

Summary:

Kenneth E Little Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bacliff, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 648. The school is part of the Dickinson Independent School District, which is ranked 549 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($11,065 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools in the Clear Creek Independent School District, Kenneth E Little Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 27% of 3rd graders proficient in reading, compared to 46% in the district and 50% statewide. The performance of certain student subgroups, such as White students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs, is particularly concerning, with these groups ranking in the bottom 10-20% of their respective statewide subgroups.

The nearby I.W. and Eleanor Hyde Elementary in the Clear Creek ISD, which serves a more affluent and higher-performing student population, significantly outperforms Kenneth E Little Elementary on academic measures, despite spending less per student. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 85%) at Kenneth E Little Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance, but the higher per-student spending suggests that other factors, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may also play a role in the school's struggles.

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.
