L G Alarcon Elementary

Summary:

L G Alarcon Elementary is a public elementary school in the San Elizario Independent School District, serving grades 3-6 with 329 students in the predominantly Hispanic community of San Elizario, Texas.

While L G Alarcon Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on STAAR assessments, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and science that fall below the state's. This is particularly concerning given the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 92.71% to 94.96% in recent years. Compared to nearby schools like Josefa L Sambrano Elementary and Alfonso Borrego Senior Elementary, L G Alarcon Elementary lags behind in academic achievement, despite having a better student-teacher ratio.

The school's struggles extend beyond just overall performance, as its rankings for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, are also in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. This suggests that L G Alarcon Elementary may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education and effectively serving its diverse student population. With its low test scores, high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, and underperformance compared to nearby schools, L G Alarcon Elementary appears to be a struggling school that could benefit from additional support and resources to improve student outcomes.

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.
