De Zavala Elementary

Summary:

De Zavala Elementary is a public elementary school in Baytown, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students, and faces significant challenges in academic performance.

De Zavala Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school's percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading and Mathematics is well below the district and state levels, and its performance in STAAR Science for 5th grade is particularly low. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. This poor performance extends to student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learners.

While De Zavala Elementary spends more per student compared to nearby schools, such as Clark Elementary, Alamo Elementary, and Stephen F. Austin Elementary, this higher spending does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. The high percentage of students from low-income families at De Zavala Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower performance, and addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by these student populations may be crucial to improving the school's overall academic outcomes.

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.
