Austin Elementary

Summary:

Austin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Gregory, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 537. The school is part of the Gregory-Portland Independent School District, which is ranked 233 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Austin Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population (69.09%), the school's academic performance has been consistently below the district and state averages on STAAR tests in reading, math, and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.73% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Science, compared to the district average of 30.81% and the state average of 26.29%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, from 1,249 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,763 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. This downward trend suggests that Austin Elementary is not keeping pace with the performance of other elementary schools in the state.

Interestingly, the nearby Clark Elementary and Andrews Elementary, which are also part of the Gregory-Portland Independent School District, generally outperform Austin Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings. Additionally, despite increased spending per student at Austin Elementary, from $10,476 in 2018-2019 to $12,403 in 2020-2021, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to address the specific needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (ranging from 62.94% to 70.18% in recent years).

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.
