Dr Lynn Armstrong Elementary

Summary:

Dr Lynn Armstrong Elementary is a public elementary school in Missouri City, Texas, serving 438 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District, which is ranked 356 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating.

Dr Lynn Armstrong Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (73.74%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 13.64% to 53.67% Hispanic. The school consistently underperforms the district and state in STAAR test scores, with proficiency rates in reading and math that are significantly lower than the averages. Additionally, 94.98% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, which is much higher than the 25.74% to 92.14% range of nearby schools. As a result, Dr Lynn Armstrong Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating, in contrast to the higher-performing Lexington Creek Elementary, Austin Parkway Elementary, and Highlands Elementary, which have 4-star ratings.

Despite the high level of spending per student (over $14,000 in 2020-2021), Dr Lynn Armstrong Elementary has struggled to improve its academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as student demographics and socioeconomic challenges, may be contributing to the school's difficulties. The racial disparities and the comparison to nearby schools within the same Fort Bend Independent School District indicate that the challenges faced by Dr Lynn Armstrong Elementary may be unique to the school and require targeted interventions and specialized support to address the needs of its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged 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.
