While James E Mitchell Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to surrounding schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (48.07%) and African American (6.49%) students, the school consistently underperforms academically. Its 3rd grade reading proficiency rate of 31.2% in 2023-2024 lags behind the district's 42.04% and the state's 48.85%. The school ranks particularly low for its African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status student groups, often in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.34% to 50.55% over the past few years.

While nearby schools like Wolf Ranch Elementary and Carver Elementary perform better academically than James E Mitchell Elementary, they still lag behind the higher-performing schools in the Round Rock Independent School District, such as Linda Herrington Elementary and Teravista Elementary. Despite the higher per-student spending at James E Mitchell Elementary, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

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.

Open Quote This is my sons first year at Mitchell. I have been beyond impressed with this school. My son attends the Dual Language program and learned so much. His teacher Mrs. Egbert is outstanding. She stays in contact with the parents and is quick to respond to any questions that arise. The 2 star rating for this school should not be taken to heart. As with any school, your child gets what you give. If you are an involved parent you will love this school! Close Quote

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.
