Shands Elementary

Summary:

Shands Elementary is a public elementary school in Mesquite, Texas, serving 551 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Mesquite Independent School District, which is ranked 601 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Shands Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with performance on STAAR tests generally below district and state averages. However, the school appears to be doing a relatively good job in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) and at-risk student populations, ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 88%) likely contributes to its overall academic underperformance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional challenges that can impact their educational outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, Shands Elementary is generally underperforming its peers. For example, Lawrence Elementary and Motley Elementary, both in the Mesquite Independent School District, consistently outperform Shands on STAAR assessments and have higher overall rankings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that Shands may have opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing counterparts within the district.

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.
