While Mission Valley Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population (around 98%), the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on STAAR assessments across various grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state, with gaps ranging from 10-20 percentage points. The school's performance in STAAR Science for 5th grade is particularly low, with only 10.1% of students meeting proficiency, compared to 29.43% for the district and 26.29% for the state. Mission Valley Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 462 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2,931 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 4 stars out of 5 in some years to 2 stars in others.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the Ysleta Independent School District, such as Alicia R. Chacon International and Ysleta Elementary, generally outperform Mission Valley Elementary on STAAR assessments and have higher SchoolDigger ratings. Additionally, the Harmony School of Excellence - El Paso, a charter school in the area, also demonstrates strong academic performance, outpacing Mission Valley Elementary and the Ysleta Independent School District on STAAR assessments. These comparisons suggest that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to Mission Valley Elementary's underperformance.

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.
