Classical Center At Vial Elementary

Summary:

Classical Center At Vial Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school consistently outperforms the Garland Independent School District and the state of Texas in academic achievement, particularly in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science.

One of the key factors that sets Classical Center At Vial Elementary apart is its strong performance across various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) students. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's African American and Hispanic students ranked in the top 425 and 373, respectively, out of over 4,000 Texas elementary schools in STAAR Reading. Additionally, the school's ELL students performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 140 out of over 3,400 Texas elementary schools in the same subject.

While Classical Center At Vial Elementary's academic performance is impressive, the nearby schools within the same district, such as George Washington Carver Elementary, have significantly lower proficiency rates in STAAR assessments. This stark contrast highlights the school's ability to provide a high-quality education, even with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, the school's Gifted and Talented program appears to be an area that could benefit from further attention and improvement, as the performance of these students has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools.

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.
