Marble Falls Elementary

Summary:

Marble Falls Elementary is a public elementary school serving around 570 students in grades PK-5 in the Marble Falls Independent School District (ISD) in Marble Falls, Texas. The school's student population is predominantly White (48.42%) and Hispanic (40.18%), with a high percentage (around 70%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Marble Falls Elementary faces some challenges. The school's performance on STAAR tests, a measure of academic achievement in Texas, is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grade math and 5th grade science. The school's ranking among Texas elementary schools has declined over the years, from a high of 1444 out of 4260 in 2013-2014 to 3102 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Notably, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups perform significantly worse than their White and Asian peers on STAAR tests, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address these achievement gaps.

In comparison to nearby schools, Lago Vista Intermediate and Spicewood Elementary, both within the Marble Falls ISD, consistently outperform Marble Falls Elementary on STAAR tests. In contrast, schools in the neighboring Burnet Consolidated ISD, such as Bertram Elementary and Rj Richey Elementary, generally have lower academic performance than Marble Falls Elementary.

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.
