Edward B Cannan Elementary

Summary:

Edward B Cannan Elementary is a public elementary school in Willis, Texas, serving 672 students in grades K-5 and part of the Willis Independent School District.

Edward B Cannan Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (52.53%) compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school has a high percentage of students (73.81%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower spending per student compared to nearby schools, such as Eddie Ruth Lagway Elementary and W Lloyd Meador Elementary, which generally outperform Edward B Cannan Elementary on academic measures.

The analysis of Edward B Cannan Elementary reveals that the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. This suggests that the school has struggled to improve its academic performance over an extended period, and the high percentage of students from low-income families, the relatively high student-teacher ratio, and the lower spending per student may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
