Hemphill Elementary

Summary:

Hemphill Elementary is a public elementary school in Kyle, Texas, serving 577 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 456 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Hemphill Elementary stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students (81.28%) and economically disadvantaged students (71.06% to 79.61% receive free or reduced-price lunch), which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the district. Academically, the school's performance on STAAR tests lags behind both the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, Hemphill's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 51.85%, compared to the district's 52.26% and the state's 48.85%. The school also performs relatively better for White students, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools, but ranks in the bottom 25% for African American, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

When compared to nearby schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, Hemphill Elementary generally underperforms. For instance, in 2023-2024, Laura B Negley Elementary had a 3rd grade reading proficiency rate of 59.2%, significantly higher than Hemphill's 51.85%. Additionally, Hemphill Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in Texas. These factors, combined with the significant performance gaps between student subgroups, indicate potential equity concerns that the school and district may need to address.

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.
