Merkel Elementary

Summary:

Merkel Elementary is a public elementary school in Merkel, Texas, serving 565 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Merkel Independent School District. While the school has a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Merkel Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 1369 out of 4578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2720 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other Texas elementary schools. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students and special education students performing significantly worse than their peers. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps.

Compared to nearby schools, such as those in the Abilene Independent School District and the Hawley Independent School District, Merkel Elementary's academic performance is generally lower. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.74% to 64.22% over the past three years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges.

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.
