Bruni Elementary

Summary:

Bruni Elementary is a public elementary school in Laredo, Texas, serving 446 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Laredo Independent School District, which is ranked 390 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bruni Elementary faces several key challenges, including a 100% Hispanic student population, declining statewide ranking and rating, and lower-than-average test scores, particularly in mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.34% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 41.01% for the district and 40.86% for the state. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 97.21% to 98.21% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years.

However, Bruni Elementary's proximity to higher-performing schools within the same district, such as Macdonell Elementary and Leyendecker Elementary, suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to learn and implement effective strategies to improve student outcomes. With a focus on addressing the unique needs of its student population and learning from the successes of nearby schools, Bruni Elementary may be able to reverse its declining performance and provide a high-quality education for the children of Laredo.

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.
