Curtis Elementary

Summary:

Curtis Elementary is a public elementary school in Weatherford, Texas, serving 644 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Weatherford Independent School District, which is ranked 383 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Curtis Elementary's Gifted and Talented program performs well, ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools, the school's overall academic performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts. On STAAR tests, the school's reading, math, and science scores have generally been lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the lower grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 42.11% of 3rd graders at Curtis Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 51.4% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance has been relatively stable over the past few years, with no significant improvements.

Interestingly, the nearby Peaster Elementary, Brock Elementary, Brock Intermediate, and Annetta Elementary schools, as well as Martin Elementary and Ikard Elementary within the Weatherford Independent School District, generally outperform Curtis Elementary on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and math. This suggests that addressing the academic needs of all students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, will be crucial for improving the overall performance of Curtis Elementary.

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.
