Elgin Elementary

Summary:

Elgin Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Elgin Independent School District (ISD) in Elgin, Texas, with a student population of 847 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, with a predominantly Hispanic (78.63%) and low-income (84.06% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) student population, and consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools in academic performance.

Elgin Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, as measured by STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests. The school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.2, compared to the nearby Neidig Elementary and Booker T. Washington Elementary, which have ratios ranging from 15.4 to 16.6. While Elgin Elementary spends more per student than the state average, its spending is lower than the nearby schools in the Elgin ISD, suggesting that additional resources may not be translating into improved academic outcomes.

The persistent low performance of Elgin Elementary, combined with the significant racial and socioeconomic disparities in its student population, highlights the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the unique challenges facing the school. By learning from the practices and strategies of its neighboring schools, such as Neidig Elementary and Booker T. Washington Elementary, Elgin Elementary may be able to implement more effective interventions and support to improve the academic achievement of its students.

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.
