Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary

Summary:

Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary is a public elementary school in Dale, Texas, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 523. The school is part of the Lockhart Independent School District, which is ranked 740 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance that is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are 10-20 percentage points lower than the district and state, particularly in science where only 9.47% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to 10.83% for the district and 26.29% for the state. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 73%) and Hispanic students (over 94%) likely contribute to these challenges, but nearby schools with similar demographics still outperform Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary, suggesting other factors may also play a role.

While Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary spends more per student ($10,526) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind Bluebonnet Elementary, Navarro Elementary, Clear Fork Elementary, and Plum Creek Elementary, all of which are within the Lockhart ISD. Schools outside the district, such as Uhland Elementary and Red Rock Elementary, have even lower academic performance, suggesting that Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary's challenges are not unique to the school or district.

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.
