Saigling Elementary

Summary:

Saigling Elementary is a public elementary school in Plano, Texas, serving 331 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic performance that outpaces the Plano Independent School District and the state of Texas.

Saigling Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its STAAR test scores, where 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students have demonstrated proficiency rates of 67.35%, 78.18%, and 65.45% in reading, and 67.35%, 65.45%, and 61.82% in mathematics, respectively. The school's 5th-grade students also scored 50% proficient or better in STAAR Science, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Saigling's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White and Asian students compared to the district and state, may contribute to its academic success.

While Saigling Elementary's overall performance is exceptional, the school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, and English Language Learner students, have been more variable. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these subgroups to ensure equitable educational outcomes. Nonetheless, Saigling Elementary remains a standout in the Plano Independent School District, outperforming nearby schools like Hightower Elementary and Hughston Elementary in academic achievement.

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.
