Bovina Elementary

Summary:

Bovina Elementary is a public elementary school serving around 200 students in grades PK-5 in the predominantly Hispanic community of Bovina, Texas. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and regional averages, ranking in the bottom 15% of Texas elementary schools.

Bovina Elementary's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 20.83% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading and 25% proficient or better in math, compared to state averages of 48.85% and 40.86%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students. Additionally, Bovina Elementary's ranking on the SchoolDigger list has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state. When compared to nearby schools like Friona Pri, Friona Elementary, and Farwell Elementary, Bovina Elementary significantly underperforms.

The high percentage of low-income and Hispanic students, as well as the large proportion of English Language Learners and Special Education students, may be contributing factors to Bovina Elementary's poor academic performance. These student populations often face additional challenges and may require more targeted support and resources to succeed. To address these issues, the school may need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies to provide a high-quality education for 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.
