Despite serving a diverse student population, with 54.74% Hispanic, 24.72% White, and 15.25% African American students, Fred Douglass has consistently performed below the state and district averages in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments for grades 3 and 4. For example, in 2023-2024, only 44.59% of 3rd graders and 48.65% of 4th graders at Fred Douglass were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 48.85% and 50.66%, respectively. The performance gap is even wider in STAAR Mathematics, with only 24.24% of 3rd graders and 47.47% of 4th graders at Fred Douglass being proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 40.86% and 44.67%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Jacksonville ISD, such as Joe Wright Elementary, West Side Elementary, and East Side Elementary, show similar patterns of underperformance, with low STAAR proficiency rates and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students. However, some schools outside the district, such as Troup Elementary and the Bullard ISD schools, demonstrate significantly higher student achievement and more favorable school ratings.

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.
