Pioneer Crossing Elementary

Summary:

Pioneer Crossing Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 470 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Manor Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pioneer Crossing Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with STAAR test scores generally below state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency was 37% in 2022-2023, compared to 50% statewide and 33% for the district. However, the school's performance for African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students is stronger compared to other subgroups. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Compared to nearby schools, Bluebonnet Trail Elementary in the Manor ISD has similar demographic characteristics and academic performance, while schools in the Pflugerville Independent School District and Austin Independent School District, such as Walnut Creek Elementary, have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and generally higher academic performance. Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Pioneer Crossing Elementary's academic challenges suggest that factors beyond funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's performance.

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.
