Le Noir Elementary

Summary:

Le Noir Elementary is a public elementary school in Donna, Texas, serving 413 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Donna Independent School District (ISD).

While Le Noir Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (99.52%) compared to the state average, its academic performance is generally lower than the state and district averages across various STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency (50%) was lower than the state (48.85%) and district (39.77%) averages. Additionally, Le Noir Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 30-40% of elementary schools in Texas, and its performance on various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, is also lower than the state and district averages. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 87% receive free or reduced-price lunch) may present unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support.

However, the data suggests that there is room for improvement at Le Noir Elementary. For example, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency increased from 24% in 2022-2023 to 50% in 2023-2024, indicating that the school may be making progress in certain areas. Additionally, some nearby schools within the Donna ISD, such as Julian S Adame and Guzman Elementary, have slightly better test scores and rankings, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Le Noir to learn from and collaborate with these higher-performing schools. By addressing the unique challenges faced by the school and its student population, Le Noir Elementary has the potential to enhance its academic performance and provide a more equitable educational experience 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.
