Hargill Elementary

Summary:

Hargill Elementary is a public elementary school in Hargill, Texas, serving 502 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 443 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Hargill Elementary stands out for its very high Hispanic student population, ranging from 98.79% to 99.33% over the past three years - significantly higher than the state average and nearby Dr. Kay Teer Crawford Elementary and Villarreal Elementary in the Edinburg CISD. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 1,280 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 3,536 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. Its current 1-star rating from SchoolDigger is also lower than the 3-star rating of the Edinburg CISD.

Hargill Elementary struggles with the performance of several student subgroups, ranking particularly low for female students, English Language Learners, and special education students. The school's STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the Edinburg CISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to 47.35% for the district and 48.85% for the state. This decline in performance over the past several years is concerning and indicates a need for intervention and improvement strategies to address the school's academic challenges.

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.
