T Sanchez Elementary / H Ochoa Elementary

Summary:

T Sanchez Elementary / H Ochoa Elementary is an elementary school in Laredo, Texas that serves 577 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Laredo Independent School District, which is ranked 390 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 99.83% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, its academic performance is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.33% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 50.26% for the district and 48.85% for the state. However, the school's performance is relatively strong for special education and at-risk students, ranking 1,054 out of 4,086 and 563 out of 4,461 Texas elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Laredo Independent School District, such as Farias Elementary and Leyendecker Elementary, consistently outperform the district and state averages on STAAR tests, suggesting that it is possible for schools in the district to achieve strong academic outcomes, even with a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, T Sanchez Elementary / H Ochoa Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $10,666 and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.4, indicating that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
