Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary

Summary:

Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 599 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Del Valle Independent School District, which is ranked 878 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.26% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 30.21% in the Del Valle ISD. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 16.49% of 3rd graders and 25% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to 40.86% and 48.96% statewide, respectively. The school also has a much higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students, as well as economically disadvantaged students, compared to surrounding schools like Overton Elementary and Decker Elementary.

Despite the school's academic challenges, Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the district average. This suggests that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning. Addressing the root causes of the school's academic struggles, which may include factors related to student demographics, instructional practices, and resource allocation, will be crucial for driving meaningful improvements.

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.
