Lytle Elementary

Summary:

Lytle Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in the Lytle Independent School District (ISD) in Lytle, Texas. With a student population of 541, the school has a predominantly Hispanic student body (84.66%), along with smaller percentages of White (13.68%), African American (0.74%), Asian (0.18%), Native American (0.18%), and two or more races (0.55%) students.

Despite increased spending per student and a declining student-teacher ratio, Lytle Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 3,382 and 4,254 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. The school has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. This is particularly true for the school's Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups, which all rank in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools on STAAR assessments. The school's high poverty rates, with 66.48% to 75.45% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years, suggest a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Lytle Elementary's academic performance lags significantly behind nearby schools, such as Castroville Elementary and Lacoste Elementary, which are part of the Medina Valley ISD and have higher statewide rankings and better STAAR assessment results. Additionally, Lytle Elementary has experienced a steady decline in enrollment and a decrease in the percentage of White students, from 18.2% in 2020-2021 to 13.68% in 2022-2023.

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.
