Ignite Community School - Mainland

Summary:

Ignite Community School - Mainland is a public charter elementary school serving 322 students in grades PK-8 in La Marque, Texas. The school faces significant challenges, with a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, high rates of economic disadvantage, and consistently low academic performance compared to state and regional averages.

Ignite Community School - Mainland has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with its students performing significantly below state and district averages on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. This is particularly true for the school's African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and economically disadvantaged student subgroups, which all perform poorly compared to their peers. The school has also experienced higher dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0% to 2.4%, which is above the state average.

In comparison, the nearby schools in the Dickinson Independent School District, Santa Fe Independent School District, and Texas City Independent School District generally outperform Ignite Community School - Mainland on academic measures, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Despite spending significantly more per student than the nearby traditional public schools, Ignite Community School - Mainland has not been able to translate this additional funding into improved student outcomes, suggesting a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational model and resource allocation strategies.

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.
