The school also has a lower percentage of White students (15.27%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 5.8% to 30.75% White students. Henderson Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2,105 and 4,235 out of 4,675 schools over the past several years. The school's performance rating from SchoolDigger has been 0-3 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other Texas elementary schools. Henderson Elementary students consistently underperform compared to the Midland ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests in reading, math, and science.

This suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on equity and opportunity 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.
