San Leon Elementary

Summary:

San Leon Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Dickinson Independent School District (ISD) in Dickinson, Texas, with a student population of 658 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

While San Leon Elementary once ranked highly among Texas elementary schools, it has seen a significant decline in recent years, now ranking 3460 out of 4647 and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This drop in performance is reflected in the school's lower-than-average student achievement on STAAR assessments compared to the Dickinson ISD and Texas state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 48% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 46% for Dickinson ISD and 50% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.72% to 84.04% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Hughes Road Elementary (66.9%) and Jake Silbernagel Elementary (86.09%).

However, San Leon Elementary does have a relatively lower student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby Dickinson ISD schools, ranging from 13.1 to 14.5 over the past three school years. This presents an opportunity for the school to provide more personalized attention and support for its students, which could help address the challenges it faces in student achievement and overall performance. Additionally, the school's proximity to higher-performing schools in the Clear Creek ISD suggests potential for collaboration and the sharing of best practices that could benefit the students at San Leon Elementary.

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.
