Dr Fermin Calderon Elementary

Summary:

Dr Fermin Calderon Elementary is a public elementary school in Del Rio, Texas, serving 541 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 631 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Despite serving a predominantly Hispanic student population (95.93%), Dr Fermin Calderon Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 33.08% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the district average of 39.46% and the state average of 48.85%. The school's low academic performance is reflected in its statewide ranking, which has consistently placed it in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nearby schools, such as Roberto Bobby Barrera Elementary STEM Magnet, Buena Vista Elementary, and Lamar Elementary, generally outperform Dr Fermin Calderon Elementary on academic measures and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the school's challenges may be related to factors such as the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (85.95% in 2022-2023) and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population.

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.
