San Jacinto Elementary

Summary:

San Jacinto Elementary is a public elementary school in Odessa, Texas, serving 396 students in grades K-5 and part of the Ector County Independent School District.

San Jacinto Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with particularly strong performance in the Hispanic student subgroup. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, yet has steadily improved its statewide ranking over the past several years, moving from the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools to the top 30%. Compared to nearby schools, San Jacinto has higher student achievement, though some nearby schools like Gale Pond Alamo Elementary and Cameron Dual Language Magnet have also demonstrated strong academic performance.

While San Jacinto Elementary's overall performance is commendable, the school may need to focus on providing more enrichment and advanced learning opportunities for its Gifted and Talented students, as their performance has been relatively low compared to other Texas elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students and lower percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, which could present unique challenges and opportunities for the school to address.

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.
