Summary:

Augusto Guerra Elementary is a public elementary school in Alamo, Texas, serving 675 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (ISD). The school has an overwhelmingly Hispanic student population, with over 99% of students identifying as Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools in the district.

Augusto Guerra Elementary has shown mixed performance on the STAAR assessments compared to the district and state averages, with the school outperforming in some grade levels and subjects but underperforming in others. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5. While the school has performed relatively well for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, it has struggled with its Special Education and Migrant student populations. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 95-97% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD, Augusto Guerra Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of STAAR assessment proficiency rates and statewide rankings. However, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the district, such as Alfred Sorensen Elementary and Drs Reed - Mock Elementary. The district's increased spending per student at Augusto Guerra Elementary suggests a focus on improving the school's performance, but more work may be needed to ensure all students are achieving at high levels.

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.
