Douglass Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and lagging behind the district and state averages on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 18.52% of 3rd-grade students at Douglass Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.65% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.

While Douglass Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.1 in 2022-2023 is higher than the nearby Lamar Elementary, Hillside Elementary, and Crockett Elementary, which generally outperform Douglass Elementary on academic measures. These nearby schools serve similar student populations, suggesting that factors beyond student demographics may be contributing to the performance gap. With targeted interventions and a holistic approach to school improvement, Douglass Elementary may have opportunities to overcome its challenges and provide a high-quality education for all 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.
