Hunt Elementary

Summary:

Hunt Elementary is a public elementary school in Cuero, Texas, serving 506 students in grades 2-5. The school is part of the Cuero Independent School District, which is ranked 426 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Hunt Elementary has a diverse student population, with 37.15% White, 9.09% African American, and 51.98% Hispanic students, its academic performance is generally below the state average, particularly in reading and math. For example, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 52.88%, compared to the state average of 48.85%. However, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 37.78% was higher than the state average of 26.29%. Notably, the school's Gifted and Talented students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools in this category, but the school's African American, Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students tend to perform below average compared to their peers statewide.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Nursery Elementary, which consistently outperforms Hunt Elementary on STAAR tests and has a much higher statewide ranking, Hunt Elementary's performance is generally lower. Additionally, the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, over 67%, combined with its relatively low academic performance, may indicate that the school faces challenges in terms of staffing, resources, and support 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.
