C Stainke Elementary

Summary:

C Stainke Elementary is a public elementary school in Donna, Texas, serving 588 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 99% Hispanic students in recent years, and is part of the Donna Independent School District.

Despite relatively high per-student spending, C Stainke Elementary consistently performs below the Donna ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 33.33% compared to 39.77% for Donna ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school has been ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for several years, with its highest ranking being 2,707 out of 4,359 schools in 2017-2018. C Stainke Elementary also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students in 2022-2023.

When comparing C Stainke Elementary to other Donna ISD elementary schools in the area, such as Julian S Adame and Eloy Garza Salazar Elementary, it performs similarly or slightly worse on most academic metrics. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly Hispanic, with less than 1% of students identifying as White, African American, Asian, or other races, which may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience for its students.

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.
