Driscoll Elementary & Middle

Summary:

Driscoll Elementary & Middle is a public school serving 287 students in grades PK-8 in the Agua Dulce Independent School District. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (over 92%) and a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 90%).

Driscoll Elementary & Middle has consistently outperformed the state average in reading proficiency, with students across all grade levels demonstrating strong reading skills. However, the school's math proficiency rates have been more mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others below. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from the top quartile to the middle of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, suggesting potential areas for improvement. Compared to nearby schools, Driscoll Elementary & Middle has a higher percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, and its academic performance on reading and math proficiency is generally in the middle range.

Despite these challenges, Driscoll Elementary & Middle has maintained a 0% dropout rate over the past several years, which is an excellent outcome. The school's strong performance for its White and Hispanic student subgroups also suggests it is effectively serving these populations. Understanding the school's unique student demographics and targeted academic strengths and weaknesses can help inform strategies to support student success.

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.
