Sam Rayburn Elementary stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with students significantly outperforming the state and district averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade students scored 75.86% proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 53.96%. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, which is lower than the surrounding schools, such as Savoy Elementary, Bells Elementary, and Honey Grove Elementary.

While Sam Rayburn Elementary's overall performance is strong, there are some disparities in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who have lower rankings compared to their peers. However, the school's high per-student spending of $11,551 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the surrounding Bells Independent School District, Honey Grove Independent School District, Ector Independent School District, and Bonham Independent School District, suggests that the school may have access to more resources and effective teaching practices that contribute to its strong academic performance.

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.
