Newell E Woolls Intermediate

Summary:

Newell E Woolls Intermediate is an elementary school in Hondo, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with 384 students. The school is part of the Hondo Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Newell E Woolls Intermediate has seen a shift in its student population, with an increase in Hispanic and White students, its academic performance has been a concern. The school's test scores, as measured by the STAAR exams, have consistently fallen below state averages, and its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade. Notably, there are significant disparities in performance between the White student subgroup and other subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 63-70% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools, such as Meyer Elementary, Newell E Woolls Intermediate has slightly lower test scores and a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This suggests that the school's economic factors and resource allocation may be contributing to its relatively lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and support for underperforming student subgroups could be crucial in improving the overall educational experience at Newell E Woolls Intermediate.

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.
