Villarreal Elementary

Summary:

Villarreal Elementary is a public elementary school in Edinburg, Texas, serving 665 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.

Villarreal Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36.9% of 3rd-grade students at Villarreal were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 47.35% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learners and Special Education students. Villarreal also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the district and state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, such as Travis Elementary, Truman Elementary, and Lincoln Elementary, generally perform better than Villarreal Elementary on academic measures, with higher STAAR test scores and better statewide rankings. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a less economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, Villarreal Elementary's performance for migrant students is particularly concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 50 out of around 50 Texas elementary schools serving migrant students in recent years.

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.
