O A Peterson

Summary:

O A Peterson is an elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students in Fort Worth, Texas, as part of the Northwest Independent School District. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it offers a diverse student population and a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

O A Peterson's student body is more racially diverse than some neighboring schools, with a mix of White, African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. However, the school has also seen an increase in the percentage of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 28.28% in 2020-2021 to 38.41% in 2022-2023. Academically, O A Peterson's performance on STAAR tests lags behind the district and state averages, with particularly low proficiency rates for Hispanic and English Language Learner students. In comparison to nearby schools like Sonny & Allegra Nance Elementary and Haslet Elementary, O A Peterson generally performs worse on standardized tests.

Despite these challenges, O A Peterson's diverse student population and low student-teacher ratio may be strengths that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. Targeted interventions and support for underperforming subgroups, as well as continued investment in the school's resources, could be important steps in addressing the school's academic performance issues and helping it regain its footing within the Northwest Independent School 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.
