Dr Hesiquio Rodriguez Elementary is a public elementary school in Harlingen, Texas, serving 610 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly among its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.

Dr Hesiquio Rodriguez Elementary has a student body that is 91-93% Hispanic, which is notably different from the nearby schools that have even higher percentages of Hispanic students. The school has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 2764 out of 4578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1117 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Dr Hesiquio Rodriguez Elementary has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (64-72%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance is stronger, particularly in reading and mathematics. This suggests the school may be employing effective strategies to overcome the challenges associated with a high-poverty student population. However, the school's relatively lower performance for its Special Education and Gifted and Talented student subgroups indicates an area for potential improvement. Overall, Dr Hesiquio Rodriguez Elementary stands out as a strong-performing school within the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, serving as a model for supporting the needs of its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
