Nash Elementary

Summary:

Nash Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Texarkana Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 677 that is predominantly White, African American, and Hispanic.

While Nash Elementary has been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year, ranking 2565 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools, its student performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. This is particularly true in STAAR Spanish assessments, where proficiency rates range from 0% to 18.18%. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 86.12% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Nash Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for African American students being 1286 out of 2443 Texas elementary schools, while the ranking for Hispanic students is 3141 out of 4401. The school's performance is also relatively low for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students compared to their peers across the state. Additionally, Nash Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, suggesting that the school's performance may be trending downward compared to other schools in the state. However, Nash Elementary outperforms some nearby schools, such as Spring Lake Park Elementary and Westlawn Elementary, which have significantly lower proficiency rates and rankings.

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.
