Summary:

Perrin Elementary is a public elementary school in Perrin, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 171 students. The school is part of the Perrin-Whitt Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 271 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perrin Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of White students (76.61%) compared to nearby schools like Millsap Elementary and Peaster Elementary. The school also has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (19.3%) than the nearby schools. In terms of test scores, Perrin Elementary's 6th grade reading proficiency rate of 58% is higher than the state average of 50%, and its 5th grade science proficiency rate of 44% is also above the state average of 34%. The school's Hispanic, special education, and low-income students perform well compared to their peers statewide.

However, Perrin Elementary's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, with a high ranking of 1,054 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 and a low ranking of 2,545 out of 4,479 in 2018-2019. The school's current ranking of 2,030 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023 is a concern. Additionally, there is a notable gender performance gap, with female students consistently outperforming their male counterparts. The school could focus on improving its performance in 3rd and 4th grade reading and math, as well as 5th grade science, where proficiency rates are below state averages.

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.
