Guerra Elementary

Summary:

Guerra Elementary is a public elementary school in Edinburg, Texas, serving 509 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 443 out of 968 school districts in the state.

While Guerra Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance has fluctuated over the years. The school's statewide ranking on the STAAR tests has ranged from 872 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 3,435 out of 4,578 in 2020-2021, indicating a decline in performance compared to other Texas elementary schools. Additionally, Guerra Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with its male students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students struggling more than their peers. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 90% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Guerra Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $11,318 in 2020-2021, its performance has not shown a corresponding improvement. In comparison, nearby schools like Lincoln Elementary, R.C. Flores-Mark A. Zapata Elementary, and Dr. Kay Teer Crawford Elementary have higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings, suggesting that Guerra Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and explore strategies to address the unique needs of its student population effectively.

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.
