Startzville Elementary

Summary:

Startzville Elementary is a public elementary school in Canyon Lake, Texas, serving 465 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Comal Independent School District, which is ranked 87 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating.

Startzville Elementary has a higher percentage of White (59.57%) and Hispanic (34.62%) students compared to nearby schools, which range from 50.52% to 75.57% White and 19.30% to 44.56% Hispanic. However, the school's STAAR reading and math proficiency rates are generally lower than the Comal ISD and Texas state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grade. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36.36% of 4th graders at Startzville were proficient in reading, compared to 64.42% in Comal ISD and 50.66% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1070 out of 4578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2503 out of 4286 in 2015-2016.

Startzville Elementary has a high percentage of students (67.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. This may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to the surrounding, more affluent Comal ISD schools, such as Rahe Bulverde Elementary, Johnson Ranch Elementary, and Hoffmann Lane Elementary, which consistently outperform Startzville on STAAR tests and maintain higher statewide rankings and ratings.

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.
