George Clarke Elementary

Summary:

George Clarke Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving around 400 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 783 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George Clarke Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 32.84% in the Fort Worth ISD. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students. Additionally, George Clarke Elementary has a very high percentage of students (around 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Nearby schools in the Fort Worth ISD, such as Hubbard Elementary and Alice Carlson Applied Learning Center, also struggle academically but generally perform better than George Clarke Elementary on STAAR tests. The higher-performing schools in the area, such as Lily B. Clayton Elementary and Daggett Montessori, serve more economically advantaged student populations and have significantly higher academic achievement. Addressing the challenges at George Clarke Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses the unique needs of the student population and leverages the resources and support available within the Fort Worth ISD and the community.

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.
