Fannindel Elementary

Summary:

Fannindel Elementary is a small public elementary school in Pecan Gap, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with just 83 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade and receiving 0 or 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Fannindel Elementary faces several key challenges. It has very low academic performance, with proficiency rates far below state averages in reading and math. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 90-95% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Compared to nearby schools like North Hopkins Elementary, Wolfe City Elementary, and Honey Grove Elementary, Fannindel's academic performance is significantly lower. The school's small size and low per-student spending may also contribute to its struggles.

Fannindel Elementary's performance has actually declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,748 out of 4,329 schools in 2016-2017 to 4,602 out of 4,647 schools in 2022-2023. Certain student subgroups, such as African American and low-socioeconomic status students, perform particularly poorly at the school. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Fannindel Elementary as a high-poverty school with consistently low academic achievement compared to other schools in the North Hopkins Independent School District and the surrounding region.

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.
