Jourdanton Elementary

Summary:

Jourdanton Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in the Jourdanton Independent School District (ISD) in Jourdanton, Texas. With a student population of 468, the school has a predominantly Hispanic (64.74%) and White (33.76%) racial makeup, and has been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the past several school years, indicating it is performing below average compared to other Texas elementary schools.

Jourdanton Elementary faces several challenges, including lower-than-average test scores on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects, with significant achievement gaps among student subgroups such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and At-Risk students. The school's performance lags behind the state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined from 1,478 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2,565 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending, the school's academic performance has not seen a corresponding improvement.

While Jourdanton Elementary performs better than some nearby schools, such as Charlotte Elementary and Poteet Intermediate, which are also rated 1 or 2 stars by SchoolDigger, it lags behind the higher-performing Pleasanton Elementary, which is rated 2 stars. The school's Gifted and Talented program ranks in the middle (3 out of 5 stars) compared to other Texas elementary schools, indicating some enrichment opportunities for high-achieving students, but more work is needed to address the overall performance gaps and implement effective instructional strategies to better serve the Jourdanton Elementary 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.
