Schulze Elementary

Summary:

Schulze Elementary is an elementary school in Irving, Texas that serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a predominantly Hispanic student population and over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education.

Schulze Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in Texas, with academic performance well below the district and state averages on STAAR tests. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of its student subgroups, particularly Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, whose rankings are in the bottom 20-30% of Texas elementary schools. While the school spends slightly more per student than the district average, its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 15 students per teacher may be limiting its ability to provide the necessary resources and support for its students.

Nearby schools within the Irving Independent School District perform slightly better than Schulze Elementary, but still struggle to meet state and district averages. However, a school outside the district, Gilbert F.M. Elementary, stands out as a higher-performing school, ranking in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools and outperforming the district and state on STAAR tests. Addressing the challenges at Schulze Elementary will require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique needs of the school and its community.

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.
