Joaquin Elementary

Summary:

Joaquin Elementary is a public elementary school in Joaquin, Texas, serving 344 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Center Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 360 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Joaquin Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (79.36%) compared to the nearby Center Elementary schools, where the white student population is around 26%. Academically, the school shows mixed performance, performing better than the state in some areas like 3rd and 4th grade math, but lagging behind in 5th grade reading and science. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for special education and low socioeconomic status students, but struggles with Hispanic and English Language Learner students.

Despite spending more per student ($11,258) than the nearby Center Elementary schools ($11,155), Joaquin Elementary's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, with a high ranking of 442 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 and a low of 1,757 out of 4,578 in 2020-2021. This suggests the need for the school and district to examine how resources are being utilized and to implement targeted interventions to address the observed achievement gaps, particularly for Hispanic and English Language Learner 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.
