East Grand Plains Elementary

Summary:

East Grand Plains Elementary is a public elementary school serving 217 students in grades PK-5 in the Roswell Independent Schools district in Roswell, New Mexico. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (74.65%) and a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income households.

Despite its challenges, East Grand Plains Elementary has seen a steady decline in academic performance in recent years. The school's proficiency rates in Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages, and its rankings have dropped from the top quartile of New Mexico elementary schools to the bottom half. The underperformance is particularly pronounced among the school's Hispanic and Special Education student populations, who rank in the bottom quartile of New Mexico elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Roswell Independent Schools district show a wide range of academic performance, with some schools, like Valley View Elementary and Del Norte Elementary, performing above the state average, while others, like Sunset Elementary and Washington Ave Elementary, are among the lowest-performing schools in the state. This suggests that the district as a whole may face challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities.

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.
