Santa Fe Elementary

Summary:

Santa Fe Elementary is a public elementary school in Cleburne, Texas, serving 409 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Cleburne Independent School District.

While Santa Fe Elementary spends around $11,600 per student, which is higher than the district and state averages, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 2,500-3,500 out of around 4,600 schools in recent years. Its performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly for certain student subgroups like African American, White, and Special Education students. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage (around 90%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Comparing Santa Fe Elementary to nearby schools in the Cleburne ISD, such as Gerard Elementary, Marti Elementary, and Cooke Elementary, these schools generally perform better on academic measures, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more economically diverse student population.

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.
