West Oso Elementary

Summary:

West Oso Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 373 students. The school is part of the West Oso Independent School District, which is ranked 777 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Oso Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance and ranking among Texas elementary schools. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (around 90%) compared to the nearby schools, and over 90% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite spending more per student ($11,136 in 2020-2021) than the state average and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio (12.2 in 2022-2023), West Oso Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While West Oso Elementary and the nearby schools in the Corpus Christi Independent School District share similar demographic characteristics, the nearby schools generally outperform West Oso Elementary on academic measures. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's low performance. Addressing the specific needs of the school's student population, as well as the broader systemic issues, may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements in the school's performance.

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.
