Lantern Lane Elementary

Summary:

Lantern Lane Elementary is a public elementary school in Missouri City, Texas, serving 472 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms academically, ranking in the bottom 35-50% of Texas elementary schools.

Lantern Lane Elementary struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Only 36.51% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading in 2023-2024, compared to 63.21% in the district and 53.96% in Texas. The school's high percentage of students (76.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Lantern Lane Elementary ($14,506 in 2020-2021), the school's poor academic performance raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, which may include racial disparities, inadequate support for disadvantaged students, and potential funding and resource allocation concerns, will be crucial for ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
