Travis Elementary

Summary:

Travis Elementary is a public elementary school in Harlingen, Texas, serving 291 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 452 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Travis Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 89-93% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's academic performance on STAAR assessments lags behind both district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 44.19% of 3rd-grade students at Travis Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 47.05% in the district and 48.85% statewide. The school also struggles with certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for Gifted and Talented students, despite performing relatively well for English Language Learners.

When compared to nearby schools in the Harlingen district, such as Treasure Hills Elementary and Bowie Elementary, Travis Elementary consistently underperforms on STAAR assessments. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending level and a favorable student-teacher ratio, the school's data suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and drive improved 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.
