The Linguistic Academy Of El Paso-Cultural Demo Site

Summary:

The Linguistic Academy Of El Paso-Cultural Demo Site is a public charter elementary school serving 347 students in grades PK-5 in El Paso, Texas. As part of the Burnham Wood Charter School District, the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population and a strong track record of academic performance.

The Linguistic Academy Of El Paso-Cultural Demo Site consistently outperforms nearby public schools, such as Jose H Damian Elementary, Congressman Silvestre & Carolina School, and Guerrero Elementary, in both academic rankings and test scores. The school's STAAR test scores are significantly higher than the state and district averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 60%, compared to 48.85% for the state and 64.41% for the El Paso Independent School District.

While the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, it also serves a small percentage of White, African American, Asian, and multiracial students, reflecting the diversity of the local community. The school has shown significant improvement in its rankings for specific student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners, over the past 3 years. However, the school's increasing free/reduced lunch rates, from 27.31% in 2020-2021 to 38.04% in 2022-2023, may indicate a growing population of economically disadvantaged students and a need to address their challenges.

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.
