Summary:

Veribest Elementary is a public elementary school located in Veribest, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 115 students. The school is part of the Veribest Independent School District, which is ranked 347 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Veribest Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of White students (74.78%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with a ranking as high as 629 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021, but declining to 1,489 out of 4,647 schools in 2022-2023, with a 3-star rating. Female students have performed well, ranking as high as 348 out of 4,499 Texas elementary schools, but Hispanic and "At Risk" students have struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile. The school's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science have been mixed, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 37.9% to 50.43%, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Veribest Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby high-performing schools, such as Miles Elementary and Wall Elementary, which are part of higher-ranked school districts and have consistently strong academic results. The school's ranking and star rating have declined over the years, and the significant differences in performance between female and male students, as well as between Hispanic and White students, suggest that Veribest Elementary may need to address equity and achievement gaps within its 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.
