Brown Elementary

Summary:

Brown Elementary is a public elementary school located in Irving, Texas, serving around 700 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Brown Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students at Brown Elementary who were proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 40.95% (5th grade) to 47.44% (4th grade), compared to the district averages of 38.11% (5th grade) and 34.91% (4th grade), and the state averages of 53.96% (5th grade) and 50.66% (4th grade). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and has a low SchoolDigger rating, ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5 over the past several years.

When comparing Brown Elementary to other nearby schools within the Irving ISD, such as Johnston Elementary, Lively Elementary, and Britain Elementary, a similar pattern of lower academic performance emerges. These nearby schools also have high percentages of students from low-income families and generally rank in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the level of resources.

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.
