Egly Elementary

Summary:

Egly Elementary is a public elementary school in Brownsville, Texas, serving 546 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Brownsville Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 439 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Egly Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (97.25%) compared to the state average, and over 93% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's performance on STAAR tests has been mixed, with some grades and subjects performing better than the district and state averages, while others lag behind. For example, 5th-grade students at Egly performed better than the district and state in STAAR Reading and Mathematics, but their Science scores were lower. Despite these challenges, Egly Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $12,851 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.8, which is slightly higher than nearby Gonzalez Elementary, Martin Elementary, and other schools in the Brownsville ISD.

The inconsistent academic performance at Egly Elementary suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of the student population. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students likely contributes to these challenges, and the school's investment in resources, such as higher per-student spending, indicates a commitment to supporting student learning and growth. By addressing the unique needs of its students and implementing data-driven strategies, Egly Elementary has the potential to improve its academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education to the community it serves.

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.
