Reagan County Elementary

Summary:

Reagan County Elementary is a public elementary school in Big Lake, Texas, serving 424 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Reagan County Independent School District, which is ranked 688 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Reagan County Elementary consistently performs below the state average on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates in reading and math around 30-40%, compared to the state averages of 49-54%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with white students generally outperforming their Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) peers. Additionally, the school's performance for students with special needs and low socioeconomic status is among the lowest in the state.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Reagan County Elementary's academic performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,919 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 4,103 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies for improving student outcomes and addressing the persistent achievement gaps among its diverse student population.

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.
