Hilda C Escobar/Alicia C Rios Elementary

Summary:

Hilda C Escobar/Alicia C Rios Elementary is a public elementary school in Mission, Texas that serves 373 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of 99.2%. The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments, outperforming the district and state in 3rd and 4th grade reading but underperforming in 5th grade reading, math, and science.

Hilda C Escobar/Alicia C Rios Elementary faces several challenges, including achievement gaps among student subgroups and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (87.4% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). The school's performance is generally lower than nearby schools within the Mission Consolidated Independent School District, such as Mims Elementary and Hurla M Midkiff Elementary, which have higher rankings and better student outcomes. However, Hilda C Escobar/Alicia C Rios Elementary outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Carl C Waitz Elementary and Ollie O'Grady Elementary, in certain subject areas and grade levels.

The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a decline in rankings and test scores from 2018-2019 to 2020-2021, followed by a slight improvement in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. The COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to the dip in student performance during the 2020-2021 school year, as seen across many schools in Texas. Additionally, Hilda C Escobar/Alicia C Rios Elementary has struggled to serve its gifted and talented students, ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years.

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.
