Tobias Elementary

Summary:

Tobias Elementary is a public elementary school in Kyle, Texas, serving 683 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hays Consolidated Independent School District. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (65.01%) compared to the state average, and its academic performance has been mixed, with strong reading proficiency but lower math and science scores, particularly in the upper grades.

Tobias Elementary has seen a decline in its White student population and a corresponding increase in Hispanic students, which may impact its academic performance and resource allocation. The school's gifted and talented program is a strength, with its students ranking in the top third of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students have shown exceptional performance, ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools. However, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with over 50% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, such as Camino Real Elementary, Uhland Elementary, and Ralph Pfluger Elementary, Tobias Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in reading proficiency, but lags behind in math and science proficiency. This suggests a need for the school to focus on improving its performance in these subject areas.

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.
