Fairmeadows Elementary

Summary:

Fairmeadows Elementary is a public elementary school located in Duncanville, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 408. The school is part of the Duncanville Independent School District, which is ranked 889 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairmeadows Elementary faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its predominantly Hispanic (82.11%) and low-income student population. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with student performance on STAAR tests generally below the state and district averages, particularly in reading and math. African American students, special education students, and students with low socioeconomic status consistently rank in the bottom 10-15% of their respective subgroups statewide. In contrast, the school performs relatively better for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 25-30% of their respective subgroups.

While Fairmeadows Elementary has seen an increase in per-student spending over the past few years and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors have not yet translated into significant improvements in student outcomes. Nearby schools in the Duncanville Independent School District, such as Merrifield Elementary and Clint Q Smith Elementary, perform at a similar or slightly higher level, while some local charter schools, like Ume Preparatory Academy - Duncanville, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance.

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.
