Kirkpatrick Elementary

Summary:

Kirkpatrick Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 312 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.

Kirkpatrick Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 70.83% Hispanic, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 89.69% to 96.75% Hispanic students. The school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in STAAR test scores, with only 22.92% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 32.84% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school also struggles with the performance of several student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for White, Male, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Kirkpatrick Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.07% to 98.72% over the past three school years.

While Kirkpatrick Elementary underperforms, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Washington Heights Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher test scores and better performance across various metrics. This suggests that factors beyond just the district and student demographics may be contributing to the differences in academic outcomes. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to translate into improved academic performance, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges. Kirkpatrick Elementary's lack of improvement over time is concerning and highlights the need for a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address the school's issues.

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.
