Hawkins Elementary

Summary:

Hawkins Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 262 students in grades PK-5. 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. Hawkins Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 96% of students identifying as Hispanic.

Hawkins Elementary consistently outperforms the El Paso Independent School District and the state of Texas in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Hawkins Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates in STAAR Reading compared to the district and the state. The school also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, ranking among the top Texas elementary schools for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Hawkins Elementary has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, ranking among the top 20-25% of Texas elementary schools.

While Hawkins Elementary outperforms the district and state, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Douglass Elementary and Zavala Elementary, struggle to match Hawkins' academic achievements. These schools have significantly lower proficiency rates and lower SchoolDigger rankings. Despite having a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, Hawkins Elementary is able to achieve exceptional academic results, suggesting that it has effective strategies and resources in place to support its economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school may benefit from a closer examination of its Gifted and Talented program to ensure that all students are receiving the support and resources they need to reach their full potential.

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.
