Rains Intermediate

Summary:

Rains Intermediate is an elementary school located in Emory, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 385. The school is part of the Rains Independent School District, which is ranked 703 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rains Intermediate has a predominantly white student population (70.39%), with higher percentages of Hispanic students (21.3%) compared to the state average, but lower percentages of African American (2.34%) and Asian (0.52%) students. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 25.44% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading and just 10.53% of 3rd-grade students meeting proficiency standards in mathematics. In contrast, nearby schools like Grand Saline Intermediate and Edgewood Intermediate have generally outperformed Rains Intermediate on STAAR assessments.

Rains Intermediate has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools and received low ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating a persistent pattern of underperformance. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 55.67% to 66.06% over the past three school years, may contribute to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent nearby schools like Lone Oak Elementary (45.4% free/reduced-lunch) and Edgewood Intermediate (52% free/reduced-lunch). While the school's challenges are significant, there may be opportunities for collaboration and learning from the successful practices of higher-performing schools in the region to help improve academic outcomes for Rains Intermediate's students.

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.
