Sabine Elementary

Summary:

Sabine Elementary is a public elementary school in Kilgore, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 734 students. The school is part of the Sabine Independent School District, which is ranked 360 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sabine Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 990 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 (rated 4 stars) to a low of 2,354 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023 (rated 2 stars). The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with particularly concerning results for African American students. However, the school's performance for special education students and low socioeconomic status students has been relatively stronger. Sabine Elementary's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions, such as the school's 4th-grade reading proficiency rate being higher than the state average in 2021-2022.

Nearby schools, such as Leveretts Chapel Elementary and Weldon Elementary, also have relatively low statewide rankings and ratings, suggesting that the performance challenges faced by Sabine Elementary may be a regional issue. However, some nearby schools, like Union Grove Elementary and White Oak Intermediate, have performed better, indicating that there are successful models within the local area that Sabine Elementary could potentially learn from.

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.
