Latexo Elementary

Summary:

Latexo Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the small town of Latexo, Texas. With a declining student racial diversity and academic performance that falls below the state average, Latexo Elementary faces several challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.

Academically, Latexo Elementary struggles to keep up with its peers. On the 2023-2024 STAAR tests, only 34.15% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Similarly, just 27.5% of 5th graders were proficient or better in math, well below the state's 48.96% average. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and low-income students performing particularly poorly. Latexo Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, but it generally falls in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Latexo Elementary often falls short. For example, Slocum Pk - 8, located about 16 miles away, consistently outperforms Latexo Elementary across multiple subject areas and grade levels. Factors like Latexo's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (59.73%) and low student-teacher ratio (16.5) may contribute to its academic challenges. To address these issues, the school and Latexo Independent School District will need to implement targeted interventions and review their instructional practices to better support their most vulnerable student populations.

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.
