Slocum Pk - 8

Summary:

Slocum Pk - 8 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Elkhart Independent School District in Elkhart, Texas, with a student population of 256 and a predominantly White (89.45%) student body.

Slocum Pk - 8 consistently outperforms the state average in STAAR test scores, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in 4th grade reading (66.67% vs. 50.66%), 6th grade reading (74.07% vs. 54.45%), and 7th grade reading (79.31% vs. 52.08%). The school also maintains a 0.0% dropout rate, which is much lower than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 9.9 to 10.7 over the past three school years, compared to the nearby schools which have ratios ranging from 11.8 to 16.5. However, the school's high percentage of White students (89.45% in 2022-2023) is in contrast to the more diverse student populations at the nearby schools, such as Neches Elementary, Latexo Elementary, and Westwood Pri.

Despite facing socioeconomic challenges, with 57.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, Slocum Pk - 8 has maintained a strong academic record, consistently ranking in the top half of Texas elementary schools. When compared to the nearby schools, Slocum Pk - 8 stands out for its academic performance, low dropout rates, and small class sizes, suggesting the school is providing a high-quality educational experience for its students. However, the school's lack of racial diversity may be an area for improvement to better prepare students for the increasingly diverse world they will encounter.

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.
