Dubose Elementary

Q: Is Dubose Elementary a good school?

Dubose Elementary ranks 2251 st of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Dubose Elementary is a public elementary school in Alice, Texas, serving 536 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Alice Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dubose Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with STAAR test scores that are generally lower than state and district averages across various grade levels and subjects. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math were below the state and district averages, with the largest gaps in 5th-grade reading (42.5% vs. 53.96% state) and 3rd-grade math (38.16% vs. 40.86% state). The school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 3976 out of 4647 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2251 out of 4675 in 2023-2024. Dubose Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with low socioeconomic status, who rank in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools in the Alice ISD, such as Noonan Elementary and Saenz Elementary, Dubose Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower. The nearby Schallert Elementary, located just 0.22 miles away, stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with much higher STAAR proficiency rates and a 4-star statewide ranking. When compared to schools outside the Alice ISD, such as Santa Gertrudis School and Orange Grove Elementary, Dubose Elementary's performance appears even more concerning, with these distant schools significantly outperforming Dubose on STAAR tests.

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.
