East Bernard Elementary

Summary:

East Bernard Elementary is a public elementary school serving 379 students in grades PK-4 in the East Bernard Independent School District. The school has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top half of Texas elementary schools over the past several years.

East Bernard Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state averages on STAAR Reading and Math assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, 52.05% of 3rd graders and 58.33% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Reading, compared to state averages of 48.85% and 50.66% respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, lower than the surrounding Lamar Consolidated Independent School District schools and the state average. However, the school serves a less economically disadvantaged population, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 46.44%, lower than many nearby schools, particularly those in the Wharton Independent School District.

While East Bernard Elementary's overall performance is impressive, the school's rankings for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, have fluctuated over the years, indicating potential areas for improvement. Additionally, the higher percentage of White students and lower free/reduced lunch rate at East Bernard Elementary compared to surrounding schools may suggest potential equity concerns that the school should examine to ensure it is serving all students equitably, regardless of race or socioeconomic status.

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.
