Hewitt Elementary is a public elementary school in Hewitt, Texas, serving 502 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Midway Independent School District, which is ranked 93 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hewitt Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (34.86%) and African American (16.53%) students. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, ranking between 915 and 1706 out of around 4,600 Texas elementary schools. Hewitt Elementary performs particularly well with its English Language Learner (ELL) and economically disadvantaged student subgroups, ranking in the top 302 and 595 out of over 3,500 and 4,400 Texas elementary schools, respectively, in 2022-2023. However, the school's overall STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science are generally lower than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools within the Midway ISD, such as Park Hill Elementary, Woodway Elementary, and South Bosque Elementary, Hewitt Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some schools in the Waco ISD, such as Kendrick Elementary and Parkdale Elementary. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Hewitt Elementary suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's academic performance, which has also fluctuated over the years.

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.
