Booker T Washington Elementary

Summary:

Booker T Washington Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita Falls, Texas, serving 296 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.

Booker T Washington Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 4135 and 4524 out of around 4,600 schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than the district and state averages, the school's academic outcomes remain poor.

Compared to nearby schools in the Wichita Falls ISD, such as Milam Elementary, Crockett Elementary, and Franklin Elementary, Booker T Washington Elementary performs significantly worse. The nearby schools with the highest performance are City View Elementary and Sheppard AFB Elementary, which are outside the Wichita Falls ISD. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the large African American and Hispanic student populations at Booker T Washington Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance.

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.
