Hickman Elementary

Summary:

Hickman Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 464 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which is ranked 535 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hickman Elementary has a diverse student population, with significant representation of Asian (31.68%), Hispanic (28.66%), and African American (25.43%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly for Asian, African American, and White student subgroups. The school also has a high percentage of students (over 86%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite spending more per student ($10,967 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools, Hickman Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 2,150 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,985 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools in the Garland ISD and Richardson ISD districts, Hickman Elementary generally underperforms on academic measures, despite its higher per-student spending. Schools like Spring Creek Elementary, Jess Harben Elementary, and Dartmouth Elementary outperform Hickman on STAAR test scores and overall school rankings. The school's challenges, including declining academic performance, inconsistent results across grade levels, and significant achievement gaps among student subgroups, suggest that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to improve overall student 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.
