Ore City Elementary

Summary:

Ore City Elementary is a public elementary school serving 399 students in grades PK-5 in the Ore City Independent School District. The school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 1 and 3 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger rating system over the past several years.

Ore City Elementary stands out in a few key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (63.91%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. However, the school's test scores on the STAAR assessments are generally lower than state averages, particularly in reading and math. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 35.85% compared to the state average of 48.85%. Ore City Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.07% to 76.44% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Despite this, the school's spending per student has increased from $8,540 in 2018-2019 to $10,033 in 2020-2021, on par with or slightly higher than the spending levels of the nearby schools.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as Hughes Springs Elementary, Ore City Elementary generally performs worse on the STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and math. This suggests that the school may need to learn from the practices and strategies of the higher-performing nearby schools. Additionally, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, coupled with its lower test scores, indicates that Ore City Elementary may be facing challenges related to poverty and its impact on student learning.

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.
