Summary:

Bowie Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenville, Texas, serving 609 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Greenville Independent School District, which is ranked 894 out of 968 districts in the state.

Academically, Bowie Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.85% of 3rd-grade students and 29.84% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1,683 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 3,620 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 1 to 3 stars out of 5, with the current rating being 1 star.

Interestingly, Bowie Elementary's performance is relatively stronger on STAAR Spanish assessments, with 33.33% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Spanish Reading, compared to the district's 24.49% and the state's 17.02%. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its African American and Gifted and Talented students ranking particularly low compared to other Texas elementary schools. These disparities suggest that Bowie Elementary may need to address equity and achievement gaps within its student population.

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.
