L B J Elementary

Summary:

L B J Elementary is a public elementary school located in Elsa, Texas, serving 472 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District, which is ranked 922 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

L B J Elementary faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low performance on statewide assessments and rankings compared to other Texas elementary schools. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (99.58%), with very low percentages of White (0.21%) and African American (0.21%) students. Academically, L B J Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with its students performing significantly below the state and district averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading (55.22%) and Mathematics (41.43%) is well below the state averages of 53.96% and 48.96%, respectively.

The school's struggles extend beyond overall academic performance, as its student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, all perform significantly below their respective state and district averages on STAAR tests. Additionally, L B J Elementary has a very high percentage of students (over 93%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a common indicator of low socioeconomic status. While the school's spending per student, around $10,500 in recent years, is higher than the state average, the academic challenges appear to be widespread across the school's student population. Nearby schools within the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District, such as Santiago Garcia Elementary, Ruben C Rodriguez Elementary, and Kennedy Elementary, exhibit similar academic performance challenges and low rankings compared to the state average, suggesting that factors beyond the district may be contributing to the performance of L B J Elementary.

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.
