Forest North Elementary

Summary:

Forest North Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 272 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Round Rock Independent School District.

While Forest North Elementary has a diverse student population, with 31.25% White, 15.81% African American, 34.19% Hispanic, and 11.03% Asian students, its academic performance as measured by STAAR test scores is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school struggles with Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, ranking in the bottom 1,000 Texas elementary schools for these subgroups, but performs relatively well for English Language Learners (ELL) and Gifted and Talented students. Compared to nearby schools like Jollyville Elementary and Spicewood Elementary, which have higher percentages of White and Asian students, Forest North Elementary generally underperforms.

The school's academic performance has declined over the years, with proficiency rates dropping across multiple grade levels and subject areas. This trend, coupled with the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (nearly 50% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges facing the Forest North Elementary community and improve overall educational outcomes.

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.
