Summary:

Agua Dulce Elementary is a public elementary school serving 171 students in grades PK-5 in the Agua Dulce Independent School District in Texas. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (79.53%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (78.95%).

Agua Dulce Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools in recent years, with its performance on state assessments generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.81% of 3rd graders at Agua Dulce Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 40.86% statewide. The school's White students tend to outperform their Hispanic and economically disadvantaged peers, highlighting an achievement gap within the school. Agua Dulce Elementary's performance has also declined over the years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 1625 out of 4479 schools in 2018-2019 to 4017 out of 4578 schools in 2020-2021.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Driscoll Elementary & Middle and Orange Grove Elementary, Agua Dulce Elementary performs relatively poorly, with lower rankings and student performance on STAAR tests. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that Agua Dulce Elementary serves a more challenging population. The school's high spending per student ($11,276) and the challenges it faces highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
