El Magnet At Travis

Summary:

El Magnet At Travis is an elementary school in Odessa, Texas that serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Ector County Independent School District. The school has a high percentage of Hispanic students, ranging from 90-94%, and has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools in recent years.

Despite spending more per student ($11,373 in 2020-2021) compared to the district average, El Magnet At Travis consistently lags behind the district and the state in STAAR test proficiency rates across reading, math, and science. For example, in 2023-2024 only 21.84% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to 48.85% statewide. The school also has very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74-90% over the past few years. In comparison, other magnet schools in the district like El Magnet At Reagan Elementary, El Magnet At Milam Elementary, and El Magnet At Hays have much higher test scores and state rankings.

The data suggests that El Magnet At Travis faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, despite having additional resources. The school's high-need student population, low academic performance, and declining trajectory over the past decade indicate the need for substantial interventions and support to improve outcomes 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.
