Ned E Williams Elementary

Summary:

Ned E Williams Elementary is a public charter elementary school in Longview, Texas, serving 377 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Longview Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from 724 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2,907 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, it performs similarly to other schools in the Longview ISD, such as J.L. Everhart Magnet Elementary and Bramlette STEAM Academy, which also have 2-3 star ratings. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing Hudson Elementary, a magnet school in the district that has consistently ranked in the top 11 Texas elementary schools and achieved a 5-star rating.

Ned E Williams Elementary faces challenges in student academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, as well as disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.49% to 92.84% in recent years, which may contribute to the overall academic performance. However, the school's increased per-student spending and smaller class sizes could provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
