O'Shea Keleher Whole Child Academy

Summary:

O'Shea Keleher Whole Child Academy is an elementary school in the Socorro Independent School District in El Paso, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 655. The school has a high percentage of Hispanic students (over 90%) and a high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients (around 80%), which may present unique challenges.

While O'Shea Keleher Whole Child Academy generally performs below the district and state averages in STAAR reading, math, and science assessments across grade levels, the school stands out in 5th grade STAAR performance, where it exceeds the district and state averages in reading, math, and science. For example, in 2023-2024, 5th grade students at O'Shea Keleher had 70.13% proficiency in STAAR reading, compared to 58.11% for the district and 53.96% for the state. However, the school's rankings for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups are generally lower than the overall school ranking, indicating a need to focus on improving academic outcomes for all students, especially in earlier grades.

Comparing O'Shea Keleher Whole Child Academy to nearby schools within the same district, such as Myrtle Cooper Elementary and Bill Sybert School, reveals that these schools generally perform better than O'Shea Keleher on STAAR assessments. However, O'Shea Keleher outperforms some of the nearby schools in 5th grade STAAR subjects, which may be attributed to its relatively high per-student spending of around $10,000 and lower student-teacher ratio (around 14:1) compared to the nearby schools.

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.
