East Side Intermediate

Summary:

East Side Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Palacios Independent School District (ISD) in Palacios, Texas, with a diverse student population of 275 students, predominantly Hispanic (73.45%).

While East Side Intermediate has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages, with strengths in some areas like 4th and 5th grade reading and 4th grade math, the school has struggled in others like 3rd grade reading and 5th grade science. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students generally outperforming Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing additional support for underperforming subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Markham Elementary and Blessing Elementary in the higher-performing Tidehaven ISD, East Side Intermediate's academic performance and ranking have been somewhat inconsistent, with the Tidehaven ISD schools generally outperforming East Side Intermediate, particularly in reading and math. This may be partly due to the higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students at East Side Intermediate.

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.
