Menchaca Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (61.35%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 28.47% to 82.02% Hispanic. The school also has a lower percentage of White students (26.25%) than the surrounding schools, which range from 7.41% to 60.24% White. Academically, Menchaca's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 43.01%, compared to 55.65% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Menchaca has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

While Menchaca's African American students have performed very well, ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023, the school's Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students have all performed in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, Menchaca has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.71% to 47.36% over the past three school years, higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 12.71% to 84.38%. These factors suggest that socioeconomic and racial disparities may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, but the strong performance of its African American students indicates that Menchaca has the potential to improve outcomes for all its students with the right support and resources.

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.
