Summary:

Lotspeich Leadership Academy is an elementary school in Robstown, Texas, serving 348 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Robstown Independent School District, which is ranked 920 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lotspeich Leadership Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide rank between 4,271 and 4,314 out of 4,675 schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades was 25.53%, 28.57%, and 34.55%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. The school's student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and low socioeconomic status students, all rank in the bottom 10-15% of their respective subgroups in Texas elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Petronila Elementary, which is part of the Bishop Consolidated Independent School District, significantly outperforms Lotspeich Leadership Academy and the other Robstown schools on STAAR tests, with much higher proficiency rates in reading, math, and science. The high percentage of low-income students and the school's low funding may be contributing factors to Lotspeich Leadership Academy's poor academic performance, which has declined over the 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.
