Amparo Gutierrez Elementary

Summary:

Amparo Gutierrez Elementary is a public elementary school in Laredo, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 428. The school is part of the United Independent School District, which is ranked 310 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Amparo Gutierrez Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (97.43%) compared to the state average, and its performance rankings have consistently placed it in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, with a 2- or 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. Compared to nearby schools like Trautmann Elementary and Newman Elementary, Amparo Gutierrez Elementary's performance is lower, and it has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

The data suggests that Amparo Gutierrez Elementary faces significant challenges, with declining performance over time and struggles in effectively serving specific student populations, such as English Language Learners and students with special education needs. The school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with higher-performing schools in the United Independent School District.

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.
