Florence Hill Elementary

Summary:

Florence Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Grand Prairie, Texas, serving 487 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Grand Prairie Independent School District.

Florence Hill Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (41.68%) and African American (29.77%) students compared to the state average. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school performs better for some student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, it struggles in others, ranking in the bottom 25% for Asian, White, and Gifted and Talented students. Academically, the school lags behind district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 25-27% of students meeting proficiency in 4th and 5th grades.

When compared to nearby schools in the Grand Prairie ISD, such as Sallye R. Moore College & Career Preparatory and Garner Fine Arts Academy, Florence Hill Elementary generally underperforms in academic achievement. However, these higher-performing schools also serve a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that Florence Hill Elementary may be facing unique challenges in serving its diverse student population. Addressing these challenges, particularly in the area of mathematics instruction and support for high-achieving students, could be key to improving overall student outcomes at the school.

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.
