Frost Elementary

Summary:

Frost Elementary is a public elementary school in Frost, Texas, serving 215 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Frost Independent School District, which is ranked 629 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frost Elementary has a diverse student population, with 50.7% White, 44.19% Hispanic, and 1.86% African American students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math for 3rd-6th grades ranged from 20.59% to 58.82%, compared to the state averages of 37.1% to 54.45%. Additionally, while the school's special education students rank in the top 10% of Texas schools, its English Language Learner (ELL) and Hispanic student populations rank in the bottom 25%.

Frost Elementary has experienced a decline in enrollment over the past few years, with the percentage of White students decreasing and the percentage of Hispanic students increasing. When compared to nearby schools, such as Dorie Miller Intermediate, Frost Elementary generally performs below average, with lower STAAR proficiency rates and lower overall SchoolDigger rankings. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate resources more effectively, and explore strategies to better support the diverse needs of their 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.
