Overton Park Elementary

Summary:

Overton Park Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 542 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic performance that significantly outpaces the district and state averages.

Overton Park Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its STAAR test scores, where 93.51% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in reading in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to just 32.84% for the Fort Worth Independent School District and 48.85% for the state. The school's strong performance extends across all grade levels and subjects, and it consistently ranks among the top schools in Texas for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, white students, and students with special needs.

While Overton Park Elementary's academic achievements are impressive, the school's demographic composition raises some equity concerns. The school has a predominantly white student population, with only 7.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This contrasts with nearby schools, such as Bruce Shulkey Elementary, which has significantly lower STAAR test scores and a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This disparity highlights the need to ensure that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to the same high-quality educational opportunities.

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.
