John Doedyns Elementary

Summary:

John Doedyns Elementary is a public elementary school in San Juan, Texas, serving 442 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (ISD). Despite being part of the same district, John Doedyns Elementary consistently underperforms nearby schools academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages.

John Doedyns Elementary has a very high percentage of Hispanic students, ranging from 99.11% to 99.65% over the past three years, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance is also hindered by the underperformance of various student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, who consistently rank in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.

Despite having the highest per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, John Doedyns Elementary has not seen significant improvement in its academic performance over the years. The school's low statewide ranking, ranging from 4489 out of 4578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2774 out of 4647 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by this school community.

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.
