Elrod Elementary stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (74.93%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 63.33% to 86.85% Hispanic students. The school generally outperforms the district and state averages in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments, particularly in 4th and 5th grades.

Additionally, Elrod has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, lower than most nearby schools.

Elrod Elementary's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a 4-star rating in 2013-2014 to a 1-star rating in 2021-2022. This suggests the school has experienced some instability in its academic performance. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students outperforming female students. While Elrod generally outperforms the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Braun Station Elementary and Carson Elementary, have consistently higher test scores and statewide rankings, indicating potential opportunities for Elrod to learn from their practices.

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.
