L B Johnson Elementary

Summary:

L B Johnson Elementary is a public elementary school in Odessa, Texas, serving 517 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Ector County Independent School District, which is ranked 654 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

L B Johnson Elementary faces several key challenges. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (71.18%) compared to the state average, and it consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 3,147 and 4,100 out of 4,578 to 4,675 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is also below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, L B Johnson Elementary struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with its rankings for female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status all in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Gale Pond Alamo Elementary, which is located just 4.11 miles away and consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools, it becomes evident that L B Johnson Elementary is underperforming. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that it is struggling to improve student outcomes and may need to implement more effective strategies to support its diverse student population.

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.
