Bluebonnet Elementary

Summary:

Bluebonnet Elementary is a public elementary school in Lockhart, Texas, serving around 550 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Lockhart Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bluebonnet Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on STAAR assessments compared to the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading, math, and science were significantly below the Lockhart ISD and Texas state averages. For example, only 33.33% of 5th graders were proficient in reading, compared to 40.43% for Lockhart ISD and 53.96% for Texas. The school's performance is particularly low in science, with just 5.21% of 5th graders proficient. Bluebonnet's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (74%) likely contributes to these academic struggles.

Interestingly, the other Lockhart ISD elementary schools, such as Clear Fork Elementary and Plum Creek Elementary, generally outperform Bluebonnet on STAAR assessments. Additionally, nearby schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, like Science Hall Elementary, also have higher proficiency rates than Bluebonnet. These schools serve more diverse student populations with lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
