Colmesneil Elementary

Summary:

Colmesneil Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Colmesneil Independent School District (ISD) in Colmesneil, Texas, with a student population of 258 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly White (91.47%), with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and other racial groups.

While Colmesneil Elementary generally performs below the state average on STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments, the school has shown some strengths, such as higher proficiency rates in 4th and 6th grade Reading compared to the state. However, the school's overall academic performance is an area of concern, as it lags behind the state average in many subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Colmesneil Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.51% to 80.62% over the past three school years, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Zavalla Elementary and Chester Elementary, Colmesneil Elementary generally performs below its peers on STAAR assessments. For example, in 3rd grade Reading, Colmesneil Elementary's proficiency rate was 43.48% compared to 30.43% at Zavalla Elementary and 66.67% at Chester Elementary. This suggests that Colmesneil Elementary may have room for improvement in academic performance compared to its neighboring schools. To address these challenges, the school should focus on improving student performance, leveraging its socioeconomic factors, analyzing and sharing best practices with higher-performing schools, and maintaining a continuous improvement mindset.

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.
