West Sabine Elementary

Summary:

West Sabine Elementary is a public elementary school in Pineland, Texas, serving 305 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hemphill Independent School District. While the school spends more per student than the state average, its academic performance consistently falls below state standards, with significant disparities across student subgroups.

Compared to the state, West Sabine Elementary has a much higher percentage of white students (80.98%) and lower percentages of Hispanic (6.23%) and African American (9.18%) students. Academically, the school struggles, with only 22.45% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. However, the school performs relatively well for African American students, ranking 286 out of 2,443 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023, while it ranks much lower for special education students.

Interestingly, West Sabine Elementary's academic performance is generally worse than that of nearby Hemphill Elementary and Brookeland Elementary, despite spending more per student. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, improve instructional quality, and explore strategies to better support students from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses.

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.
