Westwind Elementary

Summary:

Westwind Elementary is a public elementary school in Lubbock, Texas, serving 601 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Frenship Independent School District. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance on state assessments generally lags behind district and state averages, particularly for Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

Westwind Elementary's student performance on the STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is lower than the Frenship ISD and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 44.32% of 3rd-grade students at Westwind were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 51.05% for the Frenship ISD and 48.85% for the state. Similarly, just 43.53% of 5th-grade students at Westwind were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 56.46% for the Frenship ISD and 48.96% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well but Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing significantly below the state average.

When compared to other elementary schools in the area, Westwind Elementary generally performs below average, particularly in reading and mathematics. For instance, Crestview Elementary, another school in the Frenship ISD, consistently outperforms Westwind on STAAR tests and has a higher statewide ranking. Similarly, some Lubbock ISD schools, such as Whiteside Elementary, demonstrate stronger academic performance than Westwind. Addressing the school's challenges, particularly for its Hispanic and English Language Learner populations, through targeted interventions and collaboration with successful neighboring schools could help Westwind Elementary improve its overall educational outcomes.

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.
