Padron Elementary

Summary:

Padron Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 574 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 93% of students identifying as Hispanic.

Padron Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with low academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.65% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 55.65% in the Austin Independent School District and 48.85% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students. This is likely due to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 95% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Padron Elementary's overall performance is low, there are some bright spots. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments, particularly in reading, is closer to the district and state averages, suggesting that the school may be providing effective support for its Spanish-speaking students. Additionally, some nearby schools, such as Hill Elementary and Harmony School of Science - Austin, perform significantly better academically, despite serving similar student demographics. This indicates that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and educational approaches, can have a significant impact on 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.
