Cantu Elementary

Summary:

Cantu Elementary is a public elementary school in Brownsville, Texas, serving 417 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Mission Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 527 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Cantu Elementary faces several challenges, including an overwhelmingly Hispanic student population (over 98%), significantly lower test scores compared to district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (93-94.85%). While the school has a relatively high per-student spending (ranging from $9,425 to $12,551), its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting its performance is not keeping pace with other schools in Texas. Compared to nearby schools like Jessie L. Jensen Elementary and Lloyd M. Bentsen Elementary, Cantu Elementary generally underperforms in terms of test scores and student demographics.

To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, review their resource allocation, and explore best practices from higher-performing schools in the Sharyland Independent School District and La Joya Independent School District, which are located in the same region.

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.
