La Grange Elementary

Summary:

La Grange Elementary is a public elementary school serving 998 students in grades PK-6 in the La Grange Independent School District in Texas. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (42.89%) and Hispanic (43.99%).

While La Grange Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across most grade levels and subjects, the school has shown some improvement in recent years. The school's 4th-grade reading and math proficiency rates were higher than the state averages, indicating some academic strengths at that grade level. However, the school's performance on the STAAR Spanish assessments for 3rd grade was significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the White and Gifted and Talented students generally performing better than the state averages, while the African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students perform significantly worse.

Compared to nearby schools, La Grange Elementary has a more diverse student population but also a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. While La Grange Elementary's academic performance is below the state average, the school has shown some improvement in recent years, in contrast to some nearby schools like Schulenburg Elementary, which have seen a decline in their academic performance. Additionally, Round Top-Carmine Elementary, a nearby school in the Round Top-Carmine Independent School District, consistently outperforms La Grange Elementary and the state averages in both reading and math proficiency across all grade levels, suggesting that it may be a model for La Grange Elementary to emulate.

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.
