A M Pate Elementary

Summary:

A M Pate Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 356 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.

A M Pate Elementary stands out for several key reasons. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (61.8%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 6.52% to 45.02% African American. Academically, A M Pate consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, over 98% of A M Pate's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite spending more per student ($12,852 in 2020-2021) than nearby schools, which range from $9,534 to $19,843 per student, the school's academic results remain poor.

In comparison, nearby schools in the Fort Worth Independent School District, such as Maude I Logan Elementary, serve economically disadvantaged populations but generally perform better than A M Pate on academic measures. The charter schools in the area, like Uplift Mighty School and Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary, show mixed results, with some outperforming the district schools and others performing similarly or worse. These comparisons highlight the complex factors that contribute to academic success, beyond just funding and demographics.

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.
