Edward Briscoe Elementary

Summary:

Edward Briscoe Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 273 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.

Edward Briscoe Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 71.43% African American, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 6.39% to 55.71% African American. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 96%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Daggett Montessori, Daggett Elementary, and Worth Heights Elementary, generally perform better academically than Edward Briscoe Elementary, with higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Edward Briscoe Elementary are not solely due to its location or district-level factors. Despite increased spending per student and relatively small class sizes, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the past several years, indicating a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the unique needs of its 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.
