O'Connor Elementary

Summary:

O'Connor Elementary is a public elementary school in Victoria, Texas, serving 396 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Victoria Independent School District, which is ranked 801 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

O'Connor Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with low performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. Only 18.03% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 34.97% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance is consistently lower for all student subgroups compared to district and state averages, with the African American and Hispanic student groups ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools. However, the school's Gifted and Talented program appears to be a relative strength, with the school ranking in the top 25% for this student group.

While O'Connor Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $11,069 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.3, the nearby C.O. Chandler Elementary, Shields Elementary, and Martin De Leon Elementary generally perform better on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at O'Connor Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance, and targeted interventions and support for underperforming student subgroups could be a focus for the district and school leadership.

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.
