Annie Purl Elementary

Summary:

Annie Purl Elementary is a public elementary school in Georgetown, Texas, serving 557 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Georgetown Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 582 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Annie Purl Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (69.84%) and a lower percentage of White students (18.67%) than surrounding schools like Williams Elementary, Wolf Ranch Elementary, and Carver Elementary. Academically, Annie Purl consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with low performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing in the bottom 10-15% statewide.

Factors like the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (63-75% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and English Language Learners may be contributing to Annie Purl's lower academic performance. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, this suggests that factors beyond just staffing resources may be impacting student outcomes. Examining the practices and strategies used at the higher-performing nearby schools within the Georgetown ISD could provide insights into potential areas for improvement at Annie Purl Elementary.

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.
