Idea Rio Vista Academy

Summary:

Idea Rio Vista Academy is a public charter elementary school in Socorro, TX, serving 828 students in grades K-5 with a predominantly Hispanic student population. While part of the Socorro Independent School District, the school has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in reading and math significantly below state and district averages.

Idea Rio Vista Academy's performance varies greatly across student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students performing particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's high poverty rate, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic challenges. Additionally, the school has seen a decline in per-student funding in recent years, which may be impacting its ability to provide necessary resources and support.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Escontrias STEAM Academy, Idea Rio Vista Academy generally performs worse academically. The school also has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (over 93%) compared to its neighbors, which may be a contributing factor to its struggles. To improve student outcomes, the school and district should consider strategies to address these issues, such as targeted interventions for struggling subgroups and efforts to attract a more diverse student population.

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.
