Northbrook Elementary

Summary:

Northbrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving around 560 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District, which is ranked 563 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating.

Northbrook Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (36.07%) and Hispanic (31.61%) students compared to nearby schools like Saginaw Elementary and High Country Elementary. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating and significantly lower STAAR test scores than the district and state averages. Over 80% of Northbrook's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite spending more per student ($10,311 in 2020-2021) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio (around 14:1), Northbrook Elementary's academic performance remains persistently low. The school's challenges seem to disproportionately impact certain student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students, as well as students with special needs or from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, struggling more academically. Addressing these underlying factors and implementing targeted interventions will be crucial for Northbrook Elementary to improve and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
