Anthony Elementary

Summary:

Anthony Elementary is a public elementary school in Anthony, TX that serves grades PK-5 with a student population of 347. The school is part of the Anthony Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 677 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anthony Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects. The school's low academic performance is particularly pronounced for female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school has performed relatively well for its migrant student population. While Anthony Elementary has seen increases in per-student spending and improvements in student-teacher ratio, it still lags behind nearby schools in the El Paso ISD and Canutillo ISD, which generally outperform Anthony Elementary on STAAR assessments and have higher statewide rankings.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Anthony Elementary, ranging from 69.25% to 80.4% over the past three school years, likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance compared to its peers. Additionally, the school has seen fluctuations in its ranking for gifted and talented students, suggesting that it may be struggling to effectively identify and serve its high-performing students. Despite these challenges, the school's performance for its migrant student population and recent improvements in funding and resources suggest that there may be opportunities for growth and improvement at Anthony Elementary.

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.
