Stanton Elementary

Summary:

Stanton Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 378 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 from SchoolDigger.

Stanton Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population (94.44%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 45.26% to 93.65% Hispanic students. Academically, Stanton consistently underperforms the district and state in STAAR test scores, with its 5th-grade reading proficiency rate at 46.03% compared to 53.63% for the district and 53.96% for the state. The school ranks particularly low for female students, English Language Learners, and Gifted and Talented students, indicating substantial achievement gaps. Additionally, Stanton has an extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the surrounding Bobby Joe Hill Pk-8, Colin L Powell Elementary, and other nearby schools.

Despite having the highest per-student spending ($13,926 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools, Stanton Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools for the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges, and a deeper examination of how resources are allocated and utilized may be necessary to identify more effective strategies for improving student achievement.

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.
