Blanche Dodd Elementary

Summary:

Blanche Dodd Elementary is a public elementary school located in Krum, Texas, serving grades 2-5 with a student population of 312. The school is part of the Krum Independent School District, which is ranked 335 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blanche Dodd Elementary stands out for its consistent academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of Texas elementary schools over the past several years. The school's 5th-grade students have outperformed the district and state averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency levels. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student groups have struggled, ranking in the bottom 50% of Texas elementary schools in recent years. Blanche Dodd Elementary has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to nearby schools like Krum Early Education Center and Dyer Elementary, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Krum and Denton areas, Blanche Dodd Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of White students and stronger academic performance, particularly in 5th-grade STAAR assessments. This suggests the school may be providing a more rigorous educational experience for its students. However, the school should continue to focus on addressing the needs of its underperforming subgroups, such as Hispanic and ELL students, to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
