What the reported data says about SCHELL EL
SCHELL EL is a public elementary school serving grades KG–05 in RICHARDSON. It is one of 76 current school records connected to PLANO ISD. NCES reports 403 students for 2024–25.
Among 4,660 elementary schools in Texas with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 519 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 27th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 13.1:1, below the Texas median of 14.8:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Asian (42.4%) and White (24.3%). English learners represent 28.3% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 12.8%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
