Littlefield Elementary

Summary:

Littlefield Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Littlefield, Texas, with a student population of 263 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Littlefield Independent School District, which is ranked 580 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Littlefield Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (77.19%) compared to the state average, and generally below-average academic performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. The school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 29.58% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Littlefield Elementary's statewide ranking has consistently been in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, fluctuating between 2225 and 3265 out of around 4,600 schools. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learner (ELL) students performing relatively well, but special education and gifted and talented students performing poorly.

Interestingly, Littlefield Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of the nearby Sudan Elementary School, which is part of the Sudan Independent School District. Sudan Elementary has a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Littlefield Elementary's relatively high per-student spending (over $10,000 per student in 2020-2021) suggests that the school may be allocating resources effectively, but the overall academic performance remains a concern.

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.
