Spring Creek School

Summary:

Spring Creek School is an alternative public school in Skellytown, Texas, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 92 students. The school is part of the Spring Creek Independent School District (ISD).

While Spring Creek School has shown some academic strengths, such as outperforming the state in 3rd grade reading and math, it also struggles in other grade levels, particularly in 5th and 8th grade math and science. The school has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $12,726 to $14,226 over the past 3 years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school maintains a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.2 to 9.1 over the past 3 years, which is lower than the state average and may contribute to the personalized attention students receive. However, a significant percentage of students (39.13% to 44.44%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average and may indicate challenges related to socioeconomic factors.

The inconsistent academic performance at Spring Creek School suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching methods, and support systems to ensure more consistent and equitable academic outcomes for all students. While the low student-teacher ratio may be a strength, it is important to ensure that this personalized approach translates into improved academic achievement. Additionally, the school may need to explore additional support and resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
