Peaster Elementary

Summary:

Peaster Elementary is a public elementary school in Weatherford, Texas, serving 862 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Weatherford Independent School District. The school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic and multi-racial students.

Academically, Peaster Elementary performs well, with STAAR test scores generally on par with or slightly above state and district averages. The school particularly excels in 5th-grade reading, math, and science, outperforming the state. Peaster's gifted and talented students and male students also perform at a high level, ranking in the top 20% and 33% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students struggle, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools in these subgroups. Peaster Elementary's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from the top 27% to the top 38% of Texas elementary schools, with a current 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Peaster Elementary serves a relatively affluent student population, with a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the state average and nearby schools like Goshen Creek Elementary and Millsap Elementary. However, the school's per-student spending has decreased over the past three years, which may impact its ability to support all students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. While Peaster outperforms some nearby schools, it lags behind higher-performing Weatherford ISD schools, suggesting room for improvement, especially in addressing the needs of its Hispanic and ELL 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.
