Crain Elementary

Summary:

Crain Elementary is a public elementary school in Victoria, Texas, serving 416 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Victoria Independent School District, which is ranked 801 out of 968 districts in Texas, Crain Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crain Elementary's student population is predominantly Hispanic (87.98%), significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 61% to 82.51% Hispanic students. The school also has a lower percentage of White students (7.21%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 8.9% to 30.87% White students. Academically, Crain Elementary's performance on the STAAR assessments is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the school's lowest-performing student groups being African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 30-50% of ELL students in Texas.

When compared to nearby schools within the Victoria Independent School District, such as Martin De Leon Elementary and C.O. Chandler Elementary, Crain Elementary's academic performance and overall school ranking and rating are significantly lower. These higher-performing schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their stronger academic outcomes. The consistent underperformance and disparities in student outcomes at Crain Elementary suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
