Lamar Elementary

Summary:

Lamar Elementary is a public elementary school in San Angelo, Texas, serving 515 students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the San Angelo Independent School District. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with strengths in certain grade levels and subject areas, but also significant disparities in the performance of different student subgroups.

Lamar Elementary has outperformed the district and state averages in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade reading, but underperformed in 4th grade reading, 3rd-5th grade math, and 5th grade science. The school's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status (SES) students consistently rank in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, while the school's gifted and talented students rank in the top 5%. Lamar Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools like Glenmore Elementary, Santa Rita Elementary, and Ft Concho Elementary, which have higher rankings and better test scores.

However, Lamar Elementary outperforms some nearby schools, such as Austin Elementary and Crockett Elementary, in certain academic areas. The school's gifted and talented program is a strength, with students consistently ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, Lamar Elementary has seen a slight decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students, reflecting the changing demographics of the school's community. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the low performance of its low-SES student subgroup, suggest that Lamar Elementary faces socioeconomic challenges that may impact its overall academic performance.

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.
