Sagamore Hill Elementary

Summary:

Sagamore Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 406 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.

Sagamore Hill Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,282 and 4,354 out of around 4,600 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in STAAR Spanish assessments. Sagamore Hill also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with low rankings for specific student groups such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students. Despite spending significantly more per student ($10,879 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes have remained consistently low over the past decade.

Interestingly, the nearby Meadowbrook Elementary performs significantly better than Sagamore Hill and other nearby schools in the Fort Worth ISD, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages on STAAR tests. This highlights the potential for improvement at Sagamore Hill if the right strategies and resources are implemented, though the persistent underperformance of the school and other nearby schools in the district suggests that systemic issues may also be contributing to the lack of progress.

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.
