Mission Ridge

Q: Is Mission Ridge a good school?

Mission Ridge ranks 1788 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mission Ridge is an elementary school located in El Paso, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 962. It is part of the Socorro Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 345 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mission Ridge has shown mixed performance on STAAR tests compared to the Socorro ISD and Texas state averages. While the school has performed better than the district and state in some areas, such as 5th grade reading and mathematics, it has struggled in others, particularly in 3rd grade reading and mathematics. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1,626 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools (3-star rating) in 2022-2023 to 3,898 out of 4,578 (1-star rating) in 2020-2021. This variability in performance and ranking suggests the school may face challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Horizon Heights Elementary and Loma Verde, Mission Ridge generally performs on par or slightly below the average. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 80% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its academic challenges. However, Mission Ridge shows strengths in certain areas, such as with Hispanic students and English Language Learners, and identifying and building upon these strengths could be a valuable strategy for the 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.
