J T Stevens Elementary

Summary:

J T Stevens Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 444 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Fort Worth Independent School District.

J T Stevens Elementary faces significant challenges, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic (38.51%) and African American (31.53%), and a high percentage (70.95%) of students from low-income families. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR assessments well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The performance of African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students is particularly concerning, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 10-15% of their respective categories statewide. In contrast, nearby schools like Overton Park Elementary and Great Hearts Lakeside significantly outperform J T Stevens Elementary on academic measures.

The challenges faced by J T Stevens Elementary appear to be multifaceted, with the school's declining statewide ranking over the past decade, high concentration of students from low-income families, and stark contrast to nearby high-performing schools suggesting that substantial improvements are needed to provide a quality education for its students. The school's struggles underscore the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse 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.
