Springdale Elementary

Summary:

Springdale Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 407 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (over 93%) and faces significant academic challenges, with lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

Springdale Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.45% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 32.84% for FWISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing well but Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students struggling. Additionally, Springdale Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Springdale Elementary's spending per student ($11,038 in 2020-2021) is higher than the district and state averages, suggesting that additional resources are being directed towards the school. Interestingly, some nearby schools, such as Riverside Applied Learning Center and Oakhurst Elementary, have shown stronger academic results, particularly in reading and math, indicating that there may be opportunities for Springdale Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools.

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.
