Bluebonnet Trail Elementary

Summary:

Bluebonnet Trail Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 535 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Manor Independent School District, which is ranked 902 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bluebonnet Trail Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently lower proficiency rates on STAAR assessments compared to the state and its own district. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.25% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 28.18% in Manor ISD. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also significantly lower than the state and district averages. Bluebonnet Trail Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 1784 out of 4479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 3545 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 1 star.

Bluebonnet Trail Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Pioneer Crossing Elementary and Copperfield Elementary, which are part of the Pflugerville Independent School District and Austin Independent School District, respectively. These nearby schools generally have higher STAAR proficiency rates, higher school rankings, and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite increased per-student spending at Bluebonnet Trail Elementary, from $9,451 in 2018-2019 to $10,808 in 2020-2021, the school's academic struggles persist, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of its instructional practices and support systems.

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.

Open Quote Our two boys have attended for 2 years now and we have been thrilled.
Coming from a small Christian private school, we were very concerned with the quality.
It has exceeded our expectations. The principal is a hands on advocate for both the teachers and students.
Last year (2007/08) they achieved 'Recognized' status and are well on their way to doing it again. They perform far above any other school in the Manor school district.

I would recommend BTE to anyone! Close Quote

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.
