Daugherty Elementary

Summary:

Daugherty Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving around 810 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Daugherty Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (around 90%) compared to the surrounding schools, and its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 43.1% compared to the district's 49.39% and the state's 48.85%. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 780 out of 3,556 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 for ELL reading proficiency. Daugherty Elementary also has a very high percentage of students (over 94%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, Daugherty Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 1,858 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 2,573 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. This suggests a need for improvement in the school's academic programs and support for students. Additionally, the nearby Kimberlin Academy For Excel and Hillside Academy For Excel magnet schools significantly outperform Daugherty Elementary on academic measures, with much higher STAAR proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels.

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.
