Morningside Elementary

Summary:

Morningside Elementary is a public elementary school in The Colony, Texas, serving 364 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Lewisville Independent School District, Morningside has a diverse student population and a strong gifted and talented program, but faces challenges in academic performance compared to the district and state averages.

Morningside Elementary has a relatively diverse student body, with 37.91% White, 17.31% African American, 23.08% Hispanic, and 16.76% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state, with 3rd grade reading proficiency at 48.08% compared to 59.97% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Morningside does have a strong gifted and talented program, ranking 14th out of 2,980 Texas elementary schools in this category. The school also serves a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 35.71% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Morningside Elementary's performance has declined over the years, from 322nd out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,432nd out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. The school's proximity to several high-performing schools, such as Bledsoe Elementary and Allen Elementary in the Frisco Independent School District, presents both challenges and opportunities for Morningside to learn from its neighbors and collaborate to improve student 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.
