Peters Colony Elementary

Summary:

Peters Colony Elementary is a public elementary school located in The Colony, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 532. The school is part of the Lewisville Independent School District, which is ranked 298 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Peters Colony Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, particularly for its large Hispanic (64.1%) and economically disadvantaged (68.23%) student populations. The school consistently underperforms compared to the Lewisville ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 45.83% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 59.97% for Lewisville ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's struggles are especially pronounced for its English Language Learners and Economically Disadvantaged students, who rank in the bottom 25-30% of Texas elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Stem Academy at Memorial Elementary, Ethridge Elementary, and Morningside Elementary, generally outperform Peters Colony Elementary in terms of test scores, school rankings, and student subgroup performance. This suggests that the challenges faced by Peters Colony Elementary may be unique to the school or its student population. Despite increased spending per student over the years, from $9,952 in 2018-2019 to $11,932 in 2020-2021, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student body.

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.
