McQueeney Elementary

Summary:

McQueeney Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Seguin Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 314 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly Hispanic (63.38%), followed by White (27.71%), and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Despite its diverse student population, McQueeney Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Seguin ISD and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across grades and subjects. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1500 out of 4359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 2717 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This trend is particularly concerning, as the school's African American students have performed relatively well, while its Hispanic and White student populations have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of the state. Additionally, the school's special education and at-risk student populations have also underperformed.

One potential factor contributing to McQueeney Elementary's academic challenges is its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average. When compared to nearby schools, such as Patlan Elementary and Oralia R. Rodriguez Elementary, both of which are also in the Seguin ISD, McQueeney Elementary has lower STAAR proficiency rates and a worse statewide ranking. Understanding the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for improving McQueeney Elementary's 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.
