Mart Elementary

Summary:

Mart Elementary is a public elementary school serving 346 students in grades PK-6 in Mart, Texas, which is part of the Mart Independent School District. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with strengths in 3rd grade reading and math but struggles in 4th and 5th grade reading and math compared to the state average.

Mart Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing well but African American and multi-racial students struggling. The school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 70.81% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite this challenge, Mart Elementary spends approximately $10,403 per student, which is higher than the state average, indicating a focus on providing additional resources and support for students.

However, it lags behind higher-performing schools in the Riesel Independent School District and Axtell Independent School District. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community partnerships.

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.
