Alpine Elementary

Summary:

Alpine Elementary is a public elementary school in Alpine, Texas, serving 377 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Alpine Independent School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average in both reading and mathematics for grades 3 and 4, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 48% compared to state averages of 41% to 51%.

Alpine Elementary has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with the Hispanic student population increasing from 59.68% in 2022-2023 to 63.61% in 2021-2022, while the White student population decreased from 38.2% to 33.25% during the same period. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,769 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.1, Alpine Elementary continues to struggle with academic performance. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies, curriculum, and support systems to better address the needs of its diverse student population and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
