George Washington Carver Elementary

Summary:

George Washington Carver Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 682 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which is ranked 535 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George Washington Carver Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with a consistently low statewide ranking between 2,192 and 3,164 out of 4,000-4,600 Texas elementary schools over the past 8 years. The school has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Texas elementary schools. However, the school has shown strengths in supporting its English Language Learner and At-Risk student populations, with these subgroups ranking in the top 27% and top 21% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. The school's student population is also significantly more Hispanic (66.72%) compared to the surrounding Classical Center At Vial Elementary, Centerville Elementary, and other nearby schools.

Despite the school's overall challenges, its proximity to higher-performing schools, such as Watson Technology Center and Handley Elementary, suggests potential opportunities for collaboration and learning. Additionally, the school's high poverty rates, with 77.79% to 81.96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may present unique challenges and opportunities for targeted support and resources.

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.
