Sam Rosen Elementary

Summary:

Sam Rosen Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving around 400 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Fort Worth Independent School District. Despite higher per-student spending and relatively small class sizes, the school consistently underperforms academically compared to state and district averages.

Sam Rosen Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (96.5%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 70-97% Hispanic. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for academic performance, with STAAR test scores well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.24% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 32.84% for the district. Sam Rosen also ranks in the bottom quartile for its special education and English language learner student groups, indicating these populations are struggling academically.

The nearby schools within the same district, such as Rufino Mendoza Senior Elementary, Helbing Elementary, and Dolores Huerta Elementary, have similar low academic performance and demographic profiles to Sam Rosen, indicating a broader challenge facing this region of the Fort Worth ISD. Addressing the root causes of this underperformance, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and student support services, will be critical to improving outcomes for Sam Rosen's predominantly Hispanic, high-poverty 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.
