Summary:

George West Elementary is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the George West Independent School District (ISD) in George West, Texas, with a student population of 249 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students outperforming the state average in STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects.

George West Elementary's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading for grades 4-6 are significantly higher than the state averages, ranging from 67.11% to 78.48%, compared to the state's 50.66% to 54.45%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Mathematics for grades 4-6 are also well above the state averages, with 53.95% to 60.81% compared to the state's 44.67% to 37.1%. The school's performance in STAAR Science for 5th grade is also noteworthy, with a proficiency rate of 36.49% compared to the state average of 26.29%. This consistent academic success is particularly impressive given that the school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 43.93% to 67.26% over the past three school years.

Interestingly, while another school in the same district, George West J.H., also performs well academically, its performance is not as consistently strong as that of George West Elementary across all grade levels and subjects. This suggests that George West Elementary has developed effective strategies for supporting students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and maintaining a high level of academic achievement. The school's commitment to investing in education, as evidenced by the increase in spending per student from $8,984 in 2018-2019 to $11,277 in 2020-2021, and its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.3 to 13.6 over the past three school years, likely contribute to its success.

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.
