May Elementary

Summary:

May Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the May Independent School District (ISD) in May, Texas, with a student population of 120 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly White student body (73.33%), with Hispanic students making up the second-largest group (20%), and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (61.17% to 71.79%).

May Elementary has seen fluctuating statewide rankings, ranging from 1,443 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 (rated 3 out of 5 stars) to 3,218 out of 4,479 in 2018-2019 (rated 1 out of 5 stars), with its current ranking for 2023-2024 at 2,214 out of 4,675 (rated 3 out of 5 stars). While male students have ranked highly, Hispanic students and students with low socioeconomic status have consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's STAAR test scores are generally below the state average, particularly in reading and science, with only 21.05% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Science in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 26.29%. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at May Elementary, ranging from $10,692 to $13,273 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains below the state average.

Nearby Brownwood ISD schools, such as East Elementary and Northwest Elementary, generally outperform May Elementary on statewide rankings and test scores, despite serving a more diverse student population with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at May Elementary, particularly the low performance of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these student populations to improve overall academic 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.
