Kirbyville Elementary

Summary:

Kirbyville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 722 students in grades PK-5 in the Jasper Independent School District in Kirbyville, Texas. The school has maintained a below-average 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating it faces several challenges compared to other Texas elementary schools.

One key difference is Kirbyville Elementary's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (77.01%) compared to nearby schools like Jean C Few Pri (36.05% white) and Newton Elementary (59.74% white). The school also struggles academically, with proficiency rates in reading and science well below the state averages. Additionally, Kirbyville Elementary has a high percentage of students (around 70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, which is higher than nearby schools like Buna Elementary (52.85%) and Spurger Elementary (68.97%).

Kirbyville Elementary's performance has also been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,641 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2,708 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with white students performing much worse than African American and Hispanic students. Addressing these challenges, including targeted interventions in reading, mathematics, and science, as well as supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students, could be crucial for improving Kirbyville Elementary's overall outcomes.

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.
