Govalle Elementary

Summary:

Govalle Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 360 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District (AISD), which is ranked 554 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Govalle Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (80.56%) compared to the district and state averages, and a lower percentage of White students (2.78%). The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Over 85% of Govalle's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.9 to 13.7 over the past few years.

When comparing Govalle Elementary to other nearby schools within the AISD district, it becomes clear that Govalle is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. For example, Ortega Elementary and Blackshear Elementary, which are also located in economically disadvantaged areas, consistently outperform Govalle on STAAR assessments and have higher SchoolDigger ratings. Govalle's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups statewide.

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.
