Juan N Seguin Elementary

Summary:

Juan N Seguin Elementary is a public elementary school in Grand Prairie, Texas, serving 375 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Grand Prairie Independent School District, which is ranked 547 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high spending per student ($11,641 in 2020-2021) and small student-teacher ratio, Juan N Seguin Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. This is particularly concerning given the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 85% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and its significantly higher Hispanic student population (83.73%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average.

When comparing Juan N Seguin Elementary to nearby schools in the Grand Prairie ISD, such as Global Leadership Academy at Barbara Bush Elementary and Sam Rayburn Elementary STEAM Academy, the differences in academic performance are stark. These nearby schools generally outperform Juan N Seguin Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher SchoolDigger rankings, suggesting that the challenges faced by Juan N Seguin Elementary may be unique to the school and not necessarily reflective of the broader district.

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.

Open Quote As a parent of a former seguin 2nd grader i honestly believe the teachers are doing the best they can with what they got. The new principal is not having a positive effect on the school and you can tell because so many teachers left after last year and the teachers that are still there dont look that happy Close Quote

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.
