Ramey Elementary

Summary:

Ramey Elementary is a public elementary school in Tyler, Texas, serving 541 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Tyler Independent School District, which is ranked 501 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Ramey Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The student population is predominantly minority, with 37.15% African American and 60.07% Hispanic students, and the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Ramey's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.82% to 97.07% over the past three school years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

In contrast, nearby schools like Caldwell Arts Academy and Birdwell School have significantly higher academic performance and rankings, consistently outperforming Ramey Elementary on STAAR tests. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Ramey Elementary, ranging from $8,391 to $9,849 over the past three school years, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that the additional funding may not be effectively translating into improved student performance.

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.
