Carmen V Avila Elementary

Summary:

Carmen V Avila Elementary is a public elementary school in Edinburg, Texas, serving 728 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, which has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carmen V Avila Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low rankings among Texas elementary schools and below-average proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly for economically disadvantaged and English language learner students. The school has a high percentage of students (94.37%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school performs well for its migrant student population and gifted and talented students, ranking in the top 15% and top 8% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

Interestingly, nearby Austin Elementary, Guerra Elementary, and Truman Elementary generally outperform Carmen V Avila Elementary on academic measures, despite having similar high percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that the school and district may need to focus on implementing more targeted and effective instructional strategies to improve outcomes for their struggling 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.
