Hart Elementary

Summary:

Hart Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 380 students in grades PK-5, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of over 98%. The school is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 610 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,520 (compared to the district average of $10,991), Hart Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at Hart Elementary were 31.58%, 18.92%, and 27.5%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 48.65%, 50.5%, and 53.63%, and the state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the years, from a high of 2,009 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 (3-star rating) to a low of 4,403 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024 (0-star rating).

While Hart Elementary's performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Mesita Elementary and Lamar Elementary, perform significantly better on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Hart Elementary, coupled with the school's relatively high per-student spending, suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.
