Hueco Elementary

Summary:

Hueco Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 566 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Socorro Independent School District, which is ranked 345 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating.

Hueco Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past decade. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for English Language Learner (ELL) students. Hueco Elementary's performance is also consistently lower for female students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs compared to their peers at the district and state levels. Additionally, the school's ranking for Gifted and Talented students is in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools.

While Hueco Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $11,172 and a low student-to-teacher ratio, these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance is generally lower than nearby Mission Ridge, Robert R. Rojas Elementary, and Escontrias STEAM Academy within the Socorro ISD, and even some schools outside the district, such as Idea Rio Vista Academy, a public charter school.

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.
