Rasor Elementary

Summary:

Rasor Elementary is a public elementary school in Plano, Texas, serving 462 students in grades K-5. The school stands out for its diverse student population, but faces significant academic challenges compared to nearby schools and the district average.

Rasor Elementary has a more racially diverse student body than nearby schools, with a student population that is 19.91% White, 38.1% African American, 22.94% Hispanic, 11.9% Asian, and 6.49% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly lower than the Plano Independent School District and the state of Texas averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 33.33% of 3rd-grade students at Rasor Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 64.1% for the district and 48.85% for the state.

Rasor Elementary also has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Andrews Elementary, Bethany Elementary, and Hedgcoxe Elementary, which have much lower percentages of students from low-income families. Rasor Elementary's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from being ranked 1,060 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to being ranked 4,162 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024.

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.
