Roach Elementary

Summary:

Roach Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 388 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.

Roach Elementary faces several challenges, including lower-than-average academic performance, declining statewide rankings, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's STAAR test scores are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in STAAR Science, where only 6.38% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 20.85% for the district and 26.29% for the state. Roach Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 394 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2,688 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, with particularly low rankings for certain student subgroups.

While Roach Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which is lower than the district average, its academic performance is generally lower than nearby schools in the Garland ISD, such as Park Crest Elementary and Southgate Elementary, which have higher STAAR test scores and higher statewide rankings. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to its lower academic performance.

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.
