Rodolfo Torres Elementary

Summary:

Rodolfo Torres Elementary is a public elementary school in Victoria, Texas, serving 423 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.

Rodolfo Torres Elementary stands out from nearby schools in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (82.51%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 61% to 87.98% Hispanic. Academically, Rodolfo Torres consistently underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with 3rd grade reading proficiency at just 27.12% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 34.97% and the state's 48.85%. Additionally, over 80% of Rodolfo Torres' students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, placing it among the lowest-performing in the state.

The challenges facing Rodolfo Torres Elementary are significant. The school's academic performance has declined over the years, with the achievement gap widening compared to district and state averages. This suggests the school is struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities for its students, who face substantial socioeconomic challenges. While the nearby C O Chandler Elementary, Shields Elementary, and other schools in the district also have relatively low performance and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, Rodolfo Torres stands out as one of the lowest-performing and most economically disadvantaged schools in the area.

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.
