Purple Sage Elementary

Summary:

Purple Sage Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 460 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Round Rock Independent School District, which is ranked 216 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Purple Sage Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Asian (23.91%) and Hispanic (25.65%) students compared to nearby schools. The school consistently performs above the state average in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments, with particularly strong performance in 5th-grade STAAR Reading (70.27% proficient or better) and Mathematics (75% proficient or better). The school also excels in STAAR Spanish assessments, with 80% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Spanish Reading.

While Purple Sage Elementary ranks highly among Texas elementary schools for its performance with specific student groups, such as female students, Asian students, and special education students, its rankings for White students and low socioeconomic status students are relatively lower. The school's high per-student spending ($10,999 in 2020-2021) and low student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on providing additional resources and support to students. Compared to nearby schools like Spicewood Elementary and Canyon Creek Elementary, which are also part of the Round Rock ISD, Purple Sage Elementary generally outperforms them in academic assessments, but these schools demonstrate even stronger academic performance, ranking among the top Texas elementary schools.

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.
