Seminole Elementary

Summary:

Seminole Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Seminole, Texas, with a student population of 449. The school is part of the Seminole Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 471 out of 968 school districts in the state.

Seminole Elementary has shown consistent academic improvement, moving from a 1-star rating in 2016-2017 to a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally on par with or exceeds the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. Seminole Elementary also stands out for its strong performance among Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the top 227 out of 2,980 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023. Despite having a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is among the top 599 out of 4,521 Texas elementary schools.

Seminole Elementary is located near two other elementary schools within the Seminole ISD: Young Elementary and Seminole Pri. While these schools have similar student demographics and academic performance, Seminole Elementary appears to outperform them in certain areas, such as its higher ranking for Gifted and Talented students and its stronger performance on STAAR tests in mathematics and science. However, the school's data also suggests potential achievement gaps between different racial/ethnic groups, which could be an area of focus for the school and district to address.

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.
