Louise Elementary

Summary:

Louise Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Louise Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 253 that is predominantly Hispanic (62.06%) and White (33.2%).

While Louise Elementary's performance on STAAR assessments is generally below the state average, particularly in reading and science, the school has shown some strengths in mathematics, with 5th-grade students outperforming the state average. The school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1513 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 (rated 3 out of 5 stars) to 2480 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 out of 5 stars). Interestingly, the school's performance has been particularly strong for male students and White students, who have consistently ranked higher than the overall school ranking in recent years. Additionally, Louise Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools like Hutchins Elementary and Northside Elementary.

Compared to nearby schools like Edna Pri and Edna Intermediate, Louise Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students and a lower percentage of White students. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (71.54% free/reduced-price lunch) compared to the nearby Ganado Elementary (53.03%), which suggests that Louise Elementary may face additional challenges in supporting 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.
