Hickey Elementary

Summary:

Hickey Elementary is a public elementary school in Plano, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Plano Independent School District. With a diverse student population, Hickey Elementary consistently performs above the state average on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and math.

Hickey Elementary's academic performance is a standout, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade STAAR Reading and Mathematics. The school's student-teacher ratio is also lower than the state average, and its per-student spending is higher. However, the data reveals achievement gaps, with White and multi-racial students performing better than their African American and Hispanic peers. Students from low-income backgrounds and those with special needs also tend to lag behind the school's overall averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support.

Compared to nearby schools within the Plano ISD, such as Meadows Elementary and Barron Elementary, Hickey Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger. But when compared to schools in the neighboring Allen Independent School District, like Carlena Chandler Elementary and Max O Vaughan Elementary, Hickey's performance is more mixed, with some grades and subjects lagging behind.

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.
