Alvarez Elementary

Summary:

Alvarez Elementary is a public elementary school located in McAllen, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 461. The school is part of the McAllen Independent School District, which is ranked 323 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Alvarez Elementary has struggled compared to the district and state averages, with significantly lower proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade STAAR Reading, Alvarez Elementary had a 49.06% proficiency rate, compared to 61.26% for Seguin Elementary and 53.96% for Texas. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1253 out of 4260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2028 out of 4675 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Alvarez Elementary's student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, have all performed below their respective state averages in recent years.

Alvarez Elementary's high poverty rates, with 96.1% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. However, the school's efforts to allocate more resources per student and the strong performance of its Gifted and Talented program, ranking 752 out of 2980 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023, suggest that there is potential for improvement with the right strategies and support. Nearby schools within the McAllen ISD, such as McAuliffe Elementary and Seguin Elementary, have generally outperformed Alvarez Elementary, but they also serve student populations with lower poverty rates.

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.
