Pioneer Crossing Elementary

Summary:

Pioneer Crossing Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving around 470 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Manor Independent School District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to the state and its district on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Pioneer Crossing Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a 3-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. The school's performance varies across student subgroups, with male students and African American and Hispanic students outperforming their female and White/Asian peers. However, the school has struggled to support its gifted and talented students, ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools in this category.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Bluebonnet Trail Elementary and charter schools such as Harmony Science Academy - Austin and Idea Rundberg Academy have outperformed Pioneer Crossing Elementary on STAAR assessments, despite serving similar student populations. While the school has seen an increase in per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges in effectively supporting the diverse needs of its student body, suggesting opportunities for improvement if the right strategies and interventions are implemented.

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.
