Summary:

San Augustine Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the San Augustine Independent School District (ISD) in San Augustine, Texas, with a student population of 304 that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

While the school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on STAAR tests in reading, math, and science, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools, it serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 89.47% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.2 is also higher than nearby schools like Center Elementary (16.2) and Hemphill Elementary (11.1), suggesting potential resource constraints.

Interestingly, the racial makeup of San Augustine Elementary is significantly different from the nearby schools, with a much higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students, indicating that the school may be serving a more diverse and potentially underserved population. Compared to other local schools like Excelsior Elementary and Chireno Elementary, which generally outperform San Augustine Elementary on academic measures, the challenges faced by this school appear to be unique and require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for its students.

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.
