Perez Elementary

Summary:

Perez Elementary is a public elementary school in Kingsville, Texas, serving 422 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kingsville Independent School District, which is ranked 898 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perez Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 81.52% Hispanic, well above the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 41.07%, compared to the state average of 48.85% and the district average of 34.29%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students and English Language Learners performing particularly poorly. Perez Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 1,275 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 3,709 out of 4,675 schools.

Despite these challenges, Perez Elementary's performance for students in special education is relatively stronger compared to other student subgroups, with the school ranking 341 out of 3,684 Texas elementary schools for this subgroup in 2018-2019. However, the school's overall performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Harrel Elementary and Harvey Elementary, which are also part of the Kingsville Independent School District. This suggests that the challenges facing Perez Elementary may be specific to the school rather than the district as a whole.

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.
