D D Hachar Elementary stands out for its extremely high Hispanic student population, with over 99% of its students identifying as Hispanic. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state in reading proficiency, and it has also shown strong performance in 5th grade science. However, the school has struggled with its special education and gifted and talented student populations. Notably, D D Hachar Elementary has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the top 23% in 2023-2024. Despite this progress, the school still faces challenges in addressing the needs of its special education and gifted and talented students, as well as maintaining its strong performance in mathematics.

Compared to nearby schools, D D Hachar Elementary outperforms the Laredo Independent School District and the state of Texas in several academic areas. However, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate vicinity.

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.
