Maxdale Elementary

Summary:

Maxdale Elementary is a public elementary school in Killeen, Texas, serving 569 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Killeen Independent School District, which is ranked 596 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maxdale Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (41.65%) and Hispanic (26.89%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school'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 2023-2024, Maxdale's 3rd grade reading proficiency (55.81%) was lower than the Meadows Elementary (60.26%) and Clear Creek Elementary (62.5%), which are also in the Killeen ISD. The school also struggles with supporting certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and White students, who consistently perform below the state and district averages.

Despite these challenges, Maxdale Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.45% to 85.71% over the past three school years, indicating a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the school's spending per student is higher than the nearby schools, ranging from $9,417 to $10,022 over the same period, suggesting the school may be allocating more resources to support its students. However, the school's performance has been inconsistent, with some grades and subjects showing improvement while others decline, and the school has experienced a decline in enrollment and changes in its racial composition over the past three school years.

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.
