Bell Manor Elementary

Summary:

Bell Manor Elementary is a public elementary school in Bedford, Texas, serving 635 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District (ISD). While the district is ranked 172 out of 968 in Texas and has a 4-star rating, Bell Manor Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance and achievement gaps among its diverse student population.

Bell Manor Elementary has a higher percentage of African American (32.44%) and Hispanic (24.88%) students compared to district and state averages. Academically, the school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the district and state, with 3rd grade reading proficiency at 40.58% compared to the district's 55.85% and the state's 48.85%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the state average, but English Language Learner and Special Education students struggling. Additionally, 77.17% of Bell Manor Elementary students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Wilshire Elementary and Bedford Heights Elementary, Bell Manor Elementary generally performs worse academically. Despite higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing the school's performance. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted strategies and interventions to support the unique needs of its diverse student population and improve overall academic 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.

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.
