Travis Elementary

Summary:

Travis Elementary is a public elementary school in San Marcos, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District. The school has seen a declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2920 out of 4260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 4027 out of 4675 in 2023-2024. Currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, Travis Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively better rankings for White students but much lower rankings for Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner students. The school's performance for Gifted and Talented students is particularly concerning, ranking in the 2700s and 2900s out of around 3000 Texas elementary schools in recent years. This underperformance is likely influenced by the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with around 89% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other schools in the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, such as Hernandez Elementary and Crockett Elementary, as well as nearby schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, like Blanco Vista Elementary, Travis Elementary stands out as an outlier in terms of academic performance. By learning from the practices of these higher-performing schools and implementing effective strategies, Travis Elementary may be able to improve its academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience 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.
