Clendenin Elementary

Clendenin Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 398. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in reading and math, where it outperforms the El Paso Independent School District and the state of Texas.

One of Clendenin Elementary's key strengths is its diverse student population, with a significantly higher Hispanic student enrollment (92.96%) compared to nearby schools. The school also excels in supporting the academic achievement of various student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Clendenin Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.1, which may contribute to its academic success.

While Clendenin Elementary demonstrates consistent performance, maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it faces some challenges in supporting the academic growth of specific student groups, such as female students and gifted and talented students. However, the school's higher per-student spending of $13,097 in 2020-2021 suggests a commitment to providing quality education. When compared to nearby schools, such as Coldwell Elementary, Clendenin Elementary generally outperforms in terms of test scores and student group rankings, making it a strong option for families in the area.

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.
