Packsaddle Elementary

Summary:

Packsaddle Elementary is a public elementary school in Kingsland, Texas, serving 596 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Llano Independent School District, which is ranked 475 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Packsaddle Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (54.36%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the district and state in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade and ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, between 3,000-4,000 out of over 4,600 schools. Packsaddle Elementary also struggles to support its student subgroups, with lower rankings for female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs compared to state averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Llano Elementary, Colt Elementary, and Marble Falls Elementary, generally outperform Packsaddle Elementary in academic achievement, school rankings, and student subgroup performance. Despite spending more per student ($11,557 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, Packsaddle Elementary has not seen significant improvement in its academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the school.

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.
