Clara Love Elementary

Summary:

Clara Love Elementary is a public elementary school located in Justin, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 766 students. The school is part of the Northwest Independent School District, which is ranked 244 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past three years, Clara Love Elementary has seen a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of African American and students of two or more races, a shift in racial demographics that is notable compared to the nearby schools, such as Kay Granger Elementary and Haslet Elementary. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with its performance on STAAR assessments below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking in the top 50% for African American students but in the bottom 10-20% for Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students.

The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Clara Love Elementary has increased from 42.84% in 2020-2021 to 50.26% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. This, combined with the school's declining academic performance and disparities in student subgroup achievement, suggests that Clara Love Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions, strengthen its instructional practices, and collaborate with the Northwest Independent School District to leverage resources and strategies from higher-performing schools 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.
