Juan Seguin Elementary

Summary:

Juan Seguin Elementary is a public elementary school in Mission, Texas, serving 536 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the La Joya Independent School District, which is ranked 451 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Despite receiving significant resources, with over $11,000 spent per student, Juan Seguin Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than district and state averages, and its subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, all perform poorly compared to their peers across the state. This is particularly concerning given that Juan Seguin Elementary has a 100% Hispanic student population and an extremely high percentage of students (over 97%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, the challenges faced by Juan Seguin Elementary are not unique, as the other nearby schools in the La Joya ISD also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. This suggests that the issues at Juan Seguin Elementary are reflective of broader systemic problems within the district. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 15 students per teacher, the school has not been able to translate this resource into improved academic outcomes for its students.

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.
