Summary:

Montclair Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 504 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montclair Elementary faces several challenges, including low academic performance, with STAAR test scores lagging behind district and state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was 32.76%, 40.35%, and 42.19%, respectively, compared to district averages of 49.39%, 52.52%, and 55.97%, and state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 85.32% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Montclair Elementary's statewide ranking has generally been in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year.

However, Montclair Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups. For example, the school ranked 1289 out of 4401 Texas elementary schools for Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year, but only 1895 out of 2443 for African American students. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students have performed relatively well, ranking 695 out of 3,556 Texas elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2022-2023 school year, with a 4-star rating. Comparing Montclair to nearby schools in the Garland Independent School District, such as Centerville Elementary, Southgate Elementary, and Caldwell Elementary, provides valuable insights into the school's relative strengths and weaknesses.

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.
