Versia Williams Elementary

Summary:

Versia Williams Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 309 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.

Versia Williams Elementary faces significant challenges, with a consistently low academic performance that places it in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (88.67%) compared to nearby schools, and over 93% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite spending significantly more per student ($12,410 in 2020-2021) than surrounding schools, Versia Williams Elementary's STAAR test scores remain well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Nearby schools, such as De Zavala Elementary and Natha Howell Elementary, have higher academic performance and rankings, even though they serve similar student populations in terms of race and socioeconomic status. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and targeted interventions, may be contributing to the differences in performance between Versia Williams Elementary and its neighbors.

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.
