Britain Elementary

Summary:

Britain Elementary is an elementary school located in Irving, Texas that serves grades PK-5 and has a student population of 608, with a predominantly Hispanic student body (84.05% in 2022-2023). The school is part of the Irving Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 822 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Britain Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance that is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide, and just 16.13% of 3rd graders and 19.72% of 4th graders met proficiency in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 40.86% and 44.67% statewide, respectively. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also very low, with single-digit proficiency rates in most grade levels and subjects. Additionally, Britain Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 92.27% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Irving ISD, such as Keyes Elementary, Brown Elementary, and Schulze Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates generally below the district and state averages. However, some schools like Gilbert F.M. Elementary and Uplift Education - Infinity Preparatory Pri (a public charter school) demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just the district and student demographics may be contributing to the low performance at Britain Elementary.

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.
