Vermillion Road Elementary

Summary:

Vermillion Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Brownsville, Texas, serving 618 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Brownsville Independent School District, which is ranked 439 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Vermillion Road Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some areas of strength and others needing improvement. While the school's 4th grade reading and math proficiency rates were significantly higher than district and state averages, its 3rd grade and 5th grade performance lagged behind. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1390 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools (rated 4 stars) to 4098 out of 4578 (rated 1 star). The school faces particular challenges in supporting its English Language Learner and Special Education student populations, whose performance has been weaker compared to other subgroups.

One notable bright spot is Vermillion Road Elementary's remarkable improvement in 4th grade student performance, where the school's proficiency rates in reading and math far exceeded the district and state averages. However, the school's overall performance has been inconsistent, with strengths in some areas but weaknesses in others. Additionally, the school serves a student population that is 99.19% economically disadvantaged, which likely contributes to the variability in its academic achievement. Nearby schools like Brite Elementary and Morningside Elementary may offer alternative options for families in the Brownsville area.

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.
