Scott Elementary

Summary:

Scott Elementary is a public elementary school located in Temple, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 465. The school is part of the Temple Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 733 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scott Elementary faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, significant disparities in student group performance, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests has been below the state and district averages in most subject areas and grade levels, with particularly low performance in STAAR Science. The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with lower rankings for African American, Hispanic, English language learners, and students with special needs, compared to White and male students. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (78.06%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Temple ISD, such as Hector P. Garcia Elementary, Raye-Allen Elementary, and Jefferson Elementary, have similar academic performance and student demographic profiles to Scott Elementary, with most of them also performing below the state and district averages on STAAR tests. In contrast, the schools in the neighboring Belton ISD, such as Joe M. Pirtle Elementary, Tarver Elementary, and Charter Oak Elementary, generally have higher academic performance and a more diverse student population, with a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged 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.
