Sanford-Fritch Elementary

Summary:

Sanford-Fritch Elementary is a public elementary school serving 309 students in grades PK-5 in Fritch, Texas, which is part of the Sanford-Fritch Independent School District. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 85.76% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like West Texas Elementary (68.3% white) and Paul Belton Elementary (46.37% white) and Crockett Elementary (44.84% white) in the Borger Independent School District.

Academically, Sanford-Fritch Elementary's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in reading and math for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were all lower than the Texas state average in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, but it has generally been in the lower half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year.

While Sanford-Fritch Elementary has seen an increase in its per-student spending over the years, from $9,572 in 2018-2019 to $11,744 in 2020-2021, which is higher than nearby schools, the school's academic performance remains below the state average. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to drive student achievement. The school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and interventions, particularly for underperforming student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, to better support student learning and address the racial and academic disparities observed.

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.
