Live Oak Elementary

Summary:

Live Oak Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 423 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Round Rock Independent School District.

While Live Oak Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic and African American students, its academic performance as measured by STAAR test scores is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 43.33% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 61.72% and the state's 48.85%. Additionally, Live Oak Elementary's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating concerning achievement gaps. Over the past several years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from being ranked 1,171 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 2,695 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, Live Oak Elementary generally underperforms academically. For example, Laurel Mountain Elementary, located just 2.82 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 5% of Texas elementary schools and outperforms Live Oak Elementary across all STAAR subject areas. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.41% to 41.37% over the past three school years, may indicate a need for additional funding and resources to support the unique needs of its 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.
