Summary:

Wolfe City Elementary is a public elementary school serving 347 students in grades PK-5 in Wolfe City, Texas. The school is part of the Wolfe City Independent School District, which is ranked 278 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Wolfe City Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of White students (67.44%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations. The school also performs better on STAAR tests, particularly in mathematics, with 76.92% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 48.96%. Additionally, Wolfe City Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.2 to 12.8 over the past three years, lower than the nearby schools. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly, suggesting inconsistent performance, and its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (59.15% to 67.35%) indicates it serves a relatively low-income population.

While Wolfe City Elementary generally outperforms the nearby schools, such as Bland Elementary, it is not the highest-performing school in the area. Bland Elementary, located about 15 miles away, has a higher statewide ranking and better test scores in several subjects. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students outperforming female students on STAAR tests.

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.
