Aldridge Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 37.34% White, 12.45% African American, 18.78% Hispanic, and 23.14% Asian students, which is higher than the nearby schools in the same district. The school consistently performs above the state average in STAAR tests across grades and subjects, with 59.7% of 3rd graders, 51.85% of 4th graders, and 65.52% of 5th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%, respectively. Aldridge Elementary also ranks highly in the state for its Gifted and Talented program and performs well in serving its special education students.

While Aldridge Elementary maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its consistent high performance, there are some disparities in the performance of different racial subgroups, with Asian and White students consistently outperforming their Hispanic and African American peers on STAAR tests. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (21.4% in 2022-2023), suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population. Compared to nearby schools like Harrington Elementary and Shepard Elementary, Aldridge Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in academic measures, but some schools have higher rankings and performance in certain areas.

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.
