Degan Elementary

Summary:

Degan Elementary is a public elementary school in Lewisville, Texas, serving 452 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lewisville Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 298 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Degan Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the Lewisville ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 39.39% of 3rd-grade students at Degan Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 59.97% for Lewisville ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's performance is especially low in STAAR Mathematics and Science, with only 21.88% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics and 12.7% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science. Degan Elementary also ranks in the bottom quartile for Asian, White, Multi-racial, English Language Learner, and Gifted and Talented students.

Degan Elementary's challenges may not be solely due to resource constraints, as the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has seen an increase in per-student spending in recent years. However, the nearby schools, such as Forest Vista Elementary, Highland Village Elementary, and Garden Ridge Elementary, significantly outperform Degan Elementary in academic achievement, with higher STAAR test scores and better rankings among Texas elementary schools. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that Degan Elementary's challenges may be more complex and require a comprehensive approach to address the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems for its diverse student population.

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.
