Pottsboro Elementary

Summary:

Pottsboro Elementary is a public elementary school in Pottsboro, Texas, serving 543 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Pottsboro Independent School District, which is ranked 265 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Pottsboro Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 4th grade reading and math, where test scores exceed the state average. The school also performs well for its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools. However, the school's performance for its Hispanic and Multi-racial student groups is relatively lower, suggesting an opportunity to address achievement gaps. Compared to nearby schools, Pottsboro Elementary generally outperforms those in the Sherman Independent School District, but some schools in the Denison Independent School District, such as Mayes Elementary and Hyde Park Elementary, have comparable or even higher academic performance.

Pottsboro Elementary's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that the school is allocating resources effectively to support student learning, which may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating a stable level of academic performance. While Pottsboro Elementary has areas of strength, the school could potentially learn from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools to further improve its overall educational outcomes, particularly for its Hispanic and Multi-racial student groups.

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.
