Tarvin Elementary

Q: Is Tarvin Elementary a good school?

Tarvin Elementary ranks 481 st of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Tarvin Elementary is a public elementary school in Leander, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Leander Independent School District (ISD). The school has seen a shift in its student population, with a decrease in White and Hispanic students and an increase in Asian students over the past year.

Tarvin Elementary consistently outperforms the Leander ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR test scores, particularly in 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade reading, math, and science. The school also has strong performance across various student subgroups, ranking highly in the state for Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and multi-racial students. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 students per teacher and a low percentage of economically disadvantaged students at 9.42%, Tarvin Elementary stands out among nearby schools like Monta Jane Akin Elementary, Parkside Elementary, and Jim Plain Elementary.

However, Tarvin Elementary's performance in the Gifted and Talented student subgroup is relatively lower compared to other subgroups, suggesting the school may need to focus on identifying and supporting its high-achieving students. Additionally, the school's ranking for the Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroup has fluctuated, indicating some diversity in its socioeconomic makeup that could present both challenges and opportunities in supporting all students.

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.
