Johnston-McQueen Elementary

Summary:

Johnston-McQueen Elementary is a public charter school in Longview, Texas, serving 434 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Longview Independent School District. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

One key differentiator is Johnston-McQueen's racial diversity, with a student body that is 34.56% White, 32.95% African American, and 23.96% Hispanic. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools, which tend to have a higher concentration of either Hispanic or White students. However, the school's academic performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students and Hispanic students generally performing better than their male and African American peers.

Another notable factor is Johnston-McQueen's high poverty rate, with over 78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's declining academic performance in recent years, which has fallen below the Longview ISD and Texas averages. When compared to other nearby schools, such as Clarence W Bailey Elementary and Ware Elementary, Johnston-McQueen's performance is generally lower, suggesting the school may face unique challenges or serve a more disadvantaged student population.

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.
