Harmony School Of Innovation - Laredo

Summary:

Harmony School Of Innovation - Laredo is a public charter elementary school serving around 700 students in grades K-5 in Laredo, Texas, a predominantly Hispanic community. Despite serving a high-need population, with over 87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and local standards.

Harmony School Of Innovation - Laredo struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population. The school ranks in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for female students, English Language Learners, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students based on their STAAR standardized test performance. For example, in 2023-2024, only 44.66% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%, and just 31.73% were proficient in math, well below the state average of 40.86%. When compared to nearby T Sanchez Elementary, Ryan Elementary, and Milton Elementary, Harmony consistently underperforms on STAAR tests across grade levels and subjects.

Harmony School Of Innovation - Laredo's performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past several years, and the school struggles to adequately serve its highest-achieving students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for its gifted and talented program. While the school's Spanish-language STAAR results are mixed, with 5th grade Spanish reading proficiency at 28.57% compared to the state average of 27.5%, its Spanish math and science proficiency rates are very low. Addressing these significant performance gaps should be a priority for the school and Laredo Independent School District leadership.

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.
