Steadham Elementary

Summary:

Steadham Elementary is a public elementary school located in Rowlett, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 518. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which is ranked 535 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Steadham Elementary has a diverse student population, with 37.45% Hispanic, 31.08% African American, and 22.59% White students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2,169 and 4,028 out of over 4,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is also below the district and state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. Interestingly, Hispanic and English Language Learner students at Steadham perform relatively better than African American, White, and economically disadvantaged students. The school also has a high percentage of students (around 68-70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the nearby schools, such as Back Elementary and Herfurth Elementary, which demonstrate stronger academic outcomes.

The declining performance of Steadham Elementary over the years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 1,929 in 2014-2015 to 4,028 in 2020-2021, is concerning and suggests the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. By closely examining the school's data and comparing it to nearby high-performing schools, the Garland Independent School District and school leaders can identify strategies to address the unique challenges faced by the diverse student population at Steadham Elementary and work towards improving educational outcomes 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.
