Red Sands Elementary

Summary:

Red Sands Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 587 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clint Independent School District, which is ranked 614 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Red Sands Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in academic performance. The school has a majority Hispanic student population (95.06%), which is much higher than the state average. On STAAR tests, Red Sands consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 35.14%, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school also ranks particularly low for its performance with subgroups, such as Gifted and Talented students, where it ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools in recent years. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Paso Del Norte Fine Arts Academy and Lujan-Chavez Elementary, both part of the Socorro Independent School District, Red Sands Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, despite having a higher per-student spending of around $11,357 in the 2020-2021 school year. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve 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.
