Castro Elementary

Summary:

Castro Elementary is a public elementary school in Mission, Texas, serving 360 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Mission Consolidated Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and has a predominantly Hispanic student population.

Castro Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with its performance on STAAR assessments below the district and state averages, particularly in reading and science. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its Gifted and Talented students performing relatively well, but its Special Education and English Language Learner students performing much lower. Despite having a high per-student spending of $12,392, the school's academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Leal Elementary and Ollie O'Grady Elementary, Castro Elementary generally performs worse on STAAR assessments and has a lower statewide ranking. However, these nearby schools also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the large proportion of English Language Learners at Castro Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's relatively low academic 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.
