Gunstream Elementary

Summary:

Gunstream Elementary is a public elementary school in Frisco Independent School District, serving 614 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently performed above the state average on STAAR tests, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade.

Gunstream Elementary's academic excellence is evident across grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics were significantly higher than the state averages, with 3rd grade reading at 69.79% (vs. 48.85% state), 4th grade reading at 77.06% (vs. 50.66% state), and 5th grade mathematics at 72.27% (vs. 48.96% state).

While Gunstream Elementary has shown strong performance across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, African American students, and gifted and talented students, the school's rankings for Hispanic students and multi-racial students have been more mixed. This suggests potential areas for improvement or targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. Additionally, the school has experienced a shift in its racial demographics, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Asian students, which may have implications for the school's academic performance and the 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.

Open Quote Lower grade teachers are excellent. Grades 3 and up questionable. KIds endure bullying from teachers and other children. Behavior contol measures include public shaming and humiliation. Reports to administrators fall on deaf ears and never address staff, instead blame parents or children for issues. Close Quote

Open Quote I think Gunstream has a great lower grade program, but after 2nd grade, the children are embarrassed in class in front of their piers, and left to fend for themselves against bullies. It really saddens me that my son that used to love school now dreads it, since he is one of the nice kids that gets picked on. The teachers sit outside at recess gossiping and not really watching what goes on. Then when the kids try to tell they are told not to tattle. My son that once loved school is now dreading each day. I am very sad about this all and I am hoping that they figure out you can't stop caring just because the kids get older. Other than that, love the younger grades and the work the teachers do and effort they put into it. I hope things change before my son is so depressed there is no hope left about school! Close Quote

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.
