Wilson Elementary

Summary:

Wilson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Pampa, Texas, serving 370 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Pampa Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 747 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (67.57%) compared to schools like Travis Elementary (61.13% White) and Austin Elementary (64.54% White). Wilson Elementary also consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating, and its performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than state and district averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. Additionally, Wilson Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.7% to 88.38%, which is much higher than nearby schools.

Despite the high spending per student at Wilson Elementary, ranging from $8,707 to $9,392 over the past three years, the school's academic performance continues to decline. The widening achievement gap between Wilson Elementary's student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, and the state and district averages suggests that targeted interventions and support programs tailored to the specific needs of these populations could be crucial in improving the school's outcomes. Addressing the unique challenges faced by Wilson Elementary will require a comprehensive approach to close the achievement gap and improve overall educational outcomes for its students.

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.
