Harvey Elementary

Summary:

Harvey Elementary is a public elementary school located in Kingsville, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 530. The school is part of the Kingsville Independent School District, which is ranked 898 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harvey Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. This low performance is especially pronounced for the school's predominantly Hispanic and low-income student population, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. In contrast, nearby schools like Harrel Elementary and Perez Elementary perform slightly better, while schools in neighboring districts, such as Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco Elementary and Petronila Elementary, have significantly higher academic achievement.

However, Harvey Elementary's gifted and talented program was ranked 10th out of 3,106 Texas elementary schools in the 2017-2018 school year, indicating that the school is able to provide high-quality educational opportunities for its most academically advanced students. This suggests that the school has the potential to improve student outcomes, but addressing the underlying factors contributing to its low performance, such as socioeconomic status and resource allocation, will be crucial for the school's future success.

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.
