Rodolfo Rudy Silva Junior Elementary

Summary:

Rodolfo Rudy Silva Junior Elementary is a public elementary school in Weslaco, Texas that serves around 600 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Weslaco Independent School District, which is ranked 483 out of 968 school districts in the state.

Rodolfo Rudy Silva Junior Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is over 97% Hispanic and a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with STAAR test scores that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Its special education students also perform poorly compared to the state. This persistent underperformance suggests the school is struggling to provide the same level of educational opportunities as its peers, such as Idea Academy Weslaco and T Price Elementary, which are part of the Idea Public Schools and Donna Independent School District, respectively.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged and English Language Learner students at Rodolfo Rudy Silva Junior Elementary likely contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. Targeted interventions and support, such as those provided by Horizon Montessori Public Schools, could be crucial for improving student outcomes and providing a high-quality education for the community.

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.
