La Porte Elementary

Summary:

La Porte Elementary is a public elementary school serving 533 students in grades PK-5 within the La Porte Independent School District in Texas, with a predominantly Hispanic student population.

La Porte Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in STAAR test proficiency, particularly in its strong Gifted and Talented program and the performance of its special education students. Despite having a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school's low-income students also perform relatively well compared to other Texas schools. However, there are some disparities in the performance of different racial subgroups, with Hispanic and White students generally outperforming African American and English Language Learner students.

Compared to other schools in the area, La Porte Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better, though some nearby schools like College Park Elementary and Leo A. Rizzuto Elementary outperform it in certain areas. The school's strong academic performance may be attributed to its higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio.

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.
