Chester E Jordan

Summary:

Chester E Jordan is an elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 813 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Socorro Independent School District. While the school has a diverse student body, with 86.59% Hispanic, 6.77% White, and 3.69% African American students, its academic performance on STAAR tests generally lags behind district and state averages across subjects and grade levels.

Chester E Jordan's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1537 out of 4359 schools in 2017-2018 to 3562 out of 4578 schools in 2020-2021. Its current ranking for 2023-2024 is 2026 out of 4675 schools, with a 3-star rating. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for English Language Learners and Special Education students. Interestingly, nearby schools like Sgt Jose F Carrasco Elementary and Lujan-Chavez Elementary have higher academic performance and statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations.

Chester E Jordan's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.57% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. However, the school's increased spending per student, from $7,728 in 2018-2019 to $9,215 in 2020-2021, has not translated into significant academic improvements, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized. Additionally, the school's performance in the Gifted and Talented student subgroup is concerning, ranking 1678 out of 2980 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023, indicating that the school may not be adequately serving its high-achieving 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.
