Menard Elementary/Jh

Summary:

Menard Elementary/Jh is a public school in Menard, Texas that serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 195 students. The school has consistently underperformed the state average on STAAR tests, with fluctuating academic performance across grade levels and subjects. Menard Elementary/Jh's student population is predominantly White (47.18%) and Hispanic (49.74%), and a high percentage (68.72%) of students are economically disadvantaged.

The school's academic challenges may be influenced by district-wide factors, as its performance is generally on par with the Menard Independent School District (ISD) average. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White and female students generally outperforming their Hispanic and male counterparts. To address these issues, Menard Elementary/Jh may need to implement targeted interventions, provide additional resources and support for students, and explore strategies to address the underlying socioeconomic factors that are impacting student learning.

Despite an increase in per-student spending over the past few years, from $11,589 in 2018-2019 to $16,558 in 2020-2021, and fluctuations in the student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has continued to decline. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for the school and district to work together to improve student learning outcomes and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
