Austin Elementary

Summary:

Austin Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Angelo, Texas, serving 355 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the San Angelo Independent School District, which is ranked 768 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Austin Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. Only 20% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 41.14% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, with 78.59% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

While Austin Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 students per teacher, this has not been enough to overcome the school's performance challenges. Nearby schools in the San Angelo ISD, such as Ft Concho Elementary and Santa Rita Elementary, perform significantly better on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to Austin Elementary's difficulties.

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.

Open Quote Teachers are very awful they don't have compassion or care about their students. I've never seen so many rude office staff or teachers in my life. Would never recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote

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.
