Lockney Elementary

Summary:

Lockney Elementary is a public elementary school in Lockney, Texas, serving 181 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lockney Independent School District, which is ranked 909 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lockney Elementary faces several key challenges, including consistently low academic performance, with only 17.39% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (79.56%) compared to the state, and a very high percentage of students (over 85%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, Lockney Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students generally outperforming Hispanic students and male students outperforming female students.

Compared to nearby schools in the Plainview Independent School District, such as North Elementary, Central Elementary, and South Elementary, Lockney Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings. This suggests that Lockney Elementary may need to focus on addressing these disparities and providing more targeted support for underperforming groups to improve the quality of education for its 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.
