East Side Elementary

Summary:

East Side Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Jacksonville Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 615 that is predominantly Hispanic and White.

While East Side Elementary has been consistently ranked in the middle range of Texas elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school faces several challenges. Student performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics, though 4th grade reading and math proficiency rates are closer to or above the district and state averages. The school serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 76.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's per-student spending has increased in recent years and is higher than the national average for elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Neches Elementary, which is in a different district (Neches ISD), has stronger student performance, particularly in reading, despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, East Side Elementary's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with English Language Learner (ELL) students performing well but gifted and talented students struggling, suggesting the need for targeted interventions.

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.
