Ranger Elementary

Summary:

Ranger Elementary is a public elementary school in Ranger, Texas, serving 157 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Ranger Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 893 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ranger Elementary has a predominantly white student population (75.8%), which is significantly higher than the nearby Maxfield Elementary (49.52% white) and Siebert Elementary (70.06% white). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.7% of 3rd-grade students at Ranger Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance on STAAR Mathematics and Science tests is also consistently below the state and nearby school averages.

Ranger Elementary's student group rankings within Texas elementary schools are generally low, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile for most subgroups. The school's spending per student is relatively high at $12,279 in the 2020-2021 school year, compared to the nearby Siebert Elementary's $8,675 per student. However, the school's academic performance has been steadily declining over the past decade, and it faces significant challenges related to its high poverty rate, with 77.07% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

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.
