Excellence In Leadership Academy

Summary:

Excellence In Leadership Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Mission, Texas, with a student population of 263. The school is part of the Idea Public Schools district, which is ranked 739 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data analysis reveals that Excellence In Leadership Academy is a struggling school that is underperforming academically compared to both the state and nearby schools. The school has a student population that is 100% Hispanic, which is significantly higher than the more diverse racial makeup of nearby schools like Henry B Gonzalez Elementary and Leal Elementary. Excellence In Leadership Academy consistently underperforms the state average on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects, with its 3rd grade reading proficiency rate at just 15.38% compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Texas elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students.

Despite spending approximately $11,500 per student, which is higher than the state average, Excellence In Leadership Academy's academic performance has not improved over time. The school's struggles to support diverse student needs and its consistently low rankings suggest the need for significant interventions and improvements to better serve its students and community. Nearby schools like Idea Palmview Academy, Leal Elementary, and Henry B. Gonzalez Elementary all outperform Excellence In Leadership Academy on STAAR assessments, indicating that the school has significant room for improvement.

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.
