The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 100% of students identifying as Hispanic in the 2022-2023 school year. La Villa Middle is part of the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District, which is ranked 861 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

La Villa Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with rankings ranging from 1,650 out of 2,361 schools in 2023-2024 to 2,152 out of 2,252 schools in 2020-2021. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is also significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, La Villa Middle has experienced higher dropout rates in recent years, with a 4.1% dropout rate in 2020-2021, compared to the nearby schools, which have dropout rates below 1%. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.73% to 92.91% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools, such as Sgt Manuel Chacon Middle, Armando Cuellar Middle, and Central Middle, which have free/reduced-lunch rates between 70-94%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at La Villa Middle, ranging from $12,726 to $15,414 over the past three school years, the school's consistently low academic performance and high dropout rates suggest that the school may be struggling to effectively allocate its resources and address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
