Windthorst Elementary

Summary:

Windthorst Elementary is a public elementary school in Windthorst, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with 262 students. The school is part of the Windthorst Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 28th out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating.

Windthorst Elementary consistently ranks among the top Texas elementary schools, with STAAR test scores significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school's 5th-grade students outperform the state average in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science by a wide margin. However, Windthorst Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with only around 1.5% African American and 23% Hispanic students, which is not representative of the racial diversity seen in many other Texas schools. The school has a moderate percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29% to 42% in recent years, lower than the nearby Archer City Elementary, which has a free/reduced-price lunch rate of over 54%.

Windthorst Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 17.5 students per teacher in the past three years, lower than the nearby Archer City Elementary, which has a student-teacher ratio of 13.4. This smaller class size may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, as it allows for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, Windthorst Elementary is a high-performing school, but its racial homogeneity may be an area for further exploration to ensure a diverse and inclusive learning environment for all students.

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.
