Lee Longino Elementary

Summary:

Lee Longino Elementary is a public elementary school in Ferris, Texas, serving 360 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Ferris Independent School District, which is ranked 687 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Lee Longino Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science. The school's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and low-income students, rank in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, indicating substantial achievement gaps. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, the school has been ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lee Longino Elementary struggles, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Lucy Mae McDonald Elementary, perform significantly better on STAAR assessments and have higher school rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of the higher-performing schools. Additionally, Lee Longino Elementary has a majority Hispanic student population, which provides an opportunity to develop targeted interventions to address the specific needs of this demographic.

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.

Open Quote My daughter is currently attending FerrisISD for the first time. She is a 5th grader. Her Math & Reading teachers are great! Overall, the school is ok except for some of the rules that they have in place. Students are unable to wear school appropriate jackets zipped up when they are cold. If one student acts up during lunch they are all punished and can't talk at all and/or their extra treat/snack purchase privilege is taken that day. They are not allowed to talk to each other in the hallway either. Is this public school or boot camp?? These are just a few of the things that I have experienced at this school. I feel sorry for the little 3rd graders that they will be moving to the Intermediate next semester. They belong in the elementary.
I am not pleased at all and she will not return next school year. Close Quote

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.
