Summary:

Shugart Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 457 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Shugart Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic (44.64%) and African American (40.92%) student population, with a high percentage (88.4%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Shugart Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower performance on STAAR tests compared to district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low in science, with only 9.72% of 5th-grade students meeting proficiency standards, compared to 20.85% for the district and 26.29% for the state. Shugart Elementary's performance is also consistently lower for all student subgroups, such as race, gender, and socioeconomic status, compared to their peers across the state.

While Shugart Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, the school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2500 out of 4260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 4120 out of 4675 in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and suggests that the school may be struggling to address the academic needs of its students effectively. Compared to nearby schools within the Garland Independent School District, such as Glen Couch Elementary and Toler Elementary, Shugart Elementary's performance is generally lower, with these nearby schools tending to have higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests and better statewide rankings.

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.
