Whitney Intermediate

Summary:

Whitney Intermediate is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Whitney Independent School District (ISD) in Whitney, Texas, with a student population of 341 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance that is significantly below state averages and a statewide ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas elementary schools.

Whitney Intermediate's struggles are particularly concerning when compared to nearby schools. For example, Rio Vista Elementary, which is 19.76 miles away, outperformed Whitney Intermediate on nearly all STAAR assessments in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1392 out of 4578 schools in the 2020-2021 school year to 3319 out of 4675 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite relatively high spending per student ($9,938 in the 2020-2021 school year) and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 in the 2022-2023 school year, Whitney Intermediate's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and class size may be contributing to the school's challenges. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 65.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be a contributing factor to the school's struggles.

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.
