Fain Elementary

Summary:

Fain Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita Falls, Texas, serving 397 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wichita Falls Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 665 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fain Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 50.63% White, 12.85% African American, 25.44% Hispanic, and 9.57% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, has been mixed compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grade. Additionally, Fain Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 60.45% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than nearby schools like Fowler Elementary and Franklin Elementary.

Fain Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 908 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year to a low of 4,076 out of 4,675 in the 2023-2024 school year. This decline is likely due to the school's academic performance and other factors. However, Fain Elementary has performed relatively well in the gifted and talented program, and its diverse student population and increased spending per student could be leveraged to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
