Diamond Hill Elementary

Summary:

Diamond Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 477 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.

Diamond Hill Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The school has a consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for the past 10 years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school has a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, with over 94% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and spends slightly more per student than the district average but still relatively low compared to the state. Additionally, the school's high percentage of Hispanic and English Language Learner students may require specialized instructional approaches that the school is not currently providing.

While the nearby schools in the Fort Worth ISD also struggle with low performance, Diamond Hill Elementary consistently ranks lower than its peers, even those with similar demographic and socioeconomic profiles. For example, Springdale Elementary, Kirkpatrick Elementary, and Oakhurst Elementary all have similar student populations but perform better than Diamond Hill Elementary on academic measures.

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.
