Kemp Intermediate

Summary:

Kemp Intermediate is an elementary school in Kemp, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with 382 students. The school is part of the Kemp Independent School District, which is ranked 720 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kemp Intermediate faces several challenges, including a higher percentage of White students (55.24%) compared to the state average, and lower test scores in reading, math, and science than the state averages, particularly in 5th-grade science proficiency (18.12% vs. 26.29% statewide). The school also has a high percentage of students (78.8%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage. Despite spending more per student ($10,510 in 2020-2021) than the state average, Kemp Intermediate's performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 2-star rating.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Malakoff Independent School District and Kaufman Independent School District generally outperform Kemp Intermediate on key metrics, such as test scores, school rankings, and free and reduced-price lunch rates. This suggests that factors beyond just economic disadvantage may be contributing to Kemp Intermediate's lower performance, and the school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices and targeted interventions for its underperforming student subgroups.

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.
