Blossom Elementary

Summary:

Blossom Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Prairiland Independent School District (ISD) in Blossom, Texas. The school has a student population of 418 and a predominantly White student body (84.69% in 2022-2023).

Blossom Elementary generally performs better than the Prairiland ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR reading, math, and science assessments, particularly in the 3rd and 4th grade levels. The school has also achieved high rankings (5 out of 5 stars) for its performance with special education and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students in recent years. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 945 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2,303 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements at other schools across the state. Additionally, Blossom Elementary's rankings for Hispanic and White student subgroups show significant disparities, with White students consistently outperforming Hispanic students, indicating a need to address achievement gaps.

Compared to nearby schools, Blossom Elementary generally outperforms Deport Elementary (also in Prairiland ISD) and the schools in the Clarksville ISD and Paris ISD, which have lower statewide rankings and test scores. However, the North Lamar ISD schools, particularly Chisum Elementary, demonstrate stronger academic performance in several areas. Blossom Elementary's student population has also decreased from 418 in 2022-2023 to 418 in 2023-2024, suggesting potential challenges with student retention or demographic shifts in the local community.

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.
