Alba-Golden Elementary

Summary:

Alba-Golden Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Mineola Independent School District (ISD) in Alba, Texas, with a student population of 404 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

While Alba-Golden Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $10,651 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 1,791 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 (rated 3 out of 5 stars) and 3,335 out of 4,479 in 2018-2019 (rated 1 out of 5 stars). The school's current ranking for the 2023-2024 school year is 2,662 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5. Compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Quitman Elementary (ranked 2,107, 3-star rating) and Mineola Elementary (ranked 2,337, 3-star rating), Alba-Golden Elementary's academic performance is generally below the state average across various grade levels and subject areas, particularly in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science.

One key factor contributing to Alba-Golden Elementary's challenges is the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White, with a much smaller percentage of Hispanic and other minority students compared to some of the nearby schools. Addressing these demographic and socioeconomic disparities, as well as the subgroup performance gaps, could be crucial for the school to improve its overall academic outcomes and provide a more equitable learning environment for all its students.

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.
