Northrich Elementary

Summary:

Northrich Elementary is a public elementary school in Richardson, Texas, serving 373 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD). This diverse school stands out for its higher racial diversity and lower socioeconomic status compared to nearby schools, as well as its generally lower academic performance on STAAR tests.

Northrich Elementary has a more diverse student population than nearby schools, with a racial makeup of 25.2% White, 17.96% African American, 47.45% Hispanic, 2.41% Asian, and 6.97% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than high-performing schools like Mohawk Elementary, Arapaho Classical Magnet, and Prairie Creek Elementary. Additionally, Northrich has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.08% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Northrich Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Gifted and Talented students performing relatively well, while Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students perform significantly worse. Northrich's academic performance is also generally lower than the Richardson ISD district average and the Texas state average, particularly in mathematics and science. By examining the practices of nearby high-performing schools, Northrich may be able to identify opportunities for improvement and better support 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.
