Yale Elementary

Summary:

Yale Elementary is a public elementary school in Richardson, Texas, serving 412 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Richardson Independent School District (RISD).

For example, in 2023-2024, 72.22% of 5th graders and 71.43% of 6th graders were proficient or better in STAAR reading, outperforming the RISD and Texas state averages. The school also performs well for special student groups, such as gifted and talented students, and has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

While Yale Elementary's overall performance is strong, the school faces some challenges, including a declining enrollment trend, with a 12.9% decrease in student population from 2021-2022 to 2022-2023. The school also performs better than nearby RISD schools like Mark Twain Elementary and Springridge Elementary in academic proficiency, but lags behind the highest-performing schools in the area.

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.
