Dr Josefina Villamil Tinajero Pk-8

Summary:

Dr Josefina Villamil Tinajero Pk-8 is an elementary school in El Paso, Texas that serves grades PK-8, with a student population of 1,246 that is predominantly Hispanic. However, the school significantly underperforms academically compared to its district and state peers, ranking in the bottom 3% of elementary schools in Texas.

Academically, Dr Josefina Villamil Tinajero Pk-8 struggles across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.38% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.65% for the El Paso Independent School District and 48.85% for the state. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 15.9 and extremely high rate of 97.51% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggest the school faces significant challenges in serving its high-poverty student population. Nearby schools like Crockett Elementary, Hillside Elementary, and Hawkins Elementary generally outperform Dr Josefina Villamil Tinajero Pk-8 academically.

However, the school does show some bright spots, such as its performance on the STAAR Algebra I End of Course exam, where 56.25% of students were proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (40.58%) and state (44.73%) averages. This suggests the school may be doing a better job in preparing students for advanced math coursework. Overall, addressing the root causes of the school's low performance will be crucial for improving outcomes for its students.

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.
