Guillermo Flores Elementary

Summary:

Guillermo Flores Elementary is a public elementary school in Mission, Texas, serving 434 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the La Joya Independent School District, which is ranked 451 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Guillermo Flores Elementary has a unique demographic, with a student population that is 100% Hispanic, significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the district. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 3 stars to a low of 1 star on the SchoolDigger rating. While the school generally performs on par or slightly better than nearby schools like Enrique Kiki Camarena Elementary and E.B. Reyna Elementary, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the district. Interestingly, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, often ranking in the top 25-30% of Texas elementary schools in these categories.

One of the most notable aspects of Guillermo Flores Elementary is its extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This challenge may be contributing to the school's fluctuating academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores. However, the school's leadership and the La Joya Independent School District should be commended for their efforts to support the diverse needs of their students, as Guillermo Flores Elementary generally outperforms nearby IDEA Public Schools in terms of test scores and school rankings.

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.
