Charles Q Murphree Pk-8

Summary:

Charles Q Murphree Pk-8 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the El Paso Independent School District, with a student population of 849 that is predominantly Hispanic (87.63%) and economically disadvantaged (89.16% free/reduced lunch).

Academically, Charles Q Murphree Pk-8 significantly underperforms the district and state averages across nearly all STAAR test subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's reading proficiency rates ranged from 20.45% to 31.82%, compared to 43.64% to 53.63% for the district and 48.85% to 54.45% for the state. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rates ranged from just 5% to 29.17%, compared to 21.35% to 46.26% for the district and 31.89% to 44.73% for the state. The school's statewide ranking is in the bottom 6% of Texas elementary schools, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing in the state.

The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to its poor academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success. Additionally, the school's predominantly Hispanic student population raises questions about potential equity issues and whether the school is providing an equitable education for its diverse student population, especially when compared to the racial/ethnic compositions of nearby schools like Mesita Elementary, Zach White Elementary, and Howard Burnham Elementary.

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.
