Vida N Clover Elementary

Summary:

Vida N Clover Elementary is a public elementary school in San Juan, Texas, serving 426 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 460 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vida N Clover Elementary faces significant challenges, with an overwhelmingly Hispanic student population (over 99%), consistently underperforming academic results on STAAR tests compared to district and state averages, and struggles to support its student subgroups, particularly English Language Learners and students with special needs. The school has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 91-96% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years. Vida N Clover Elementary has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 25% of Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to the bottom 25% in the most recent school year. When compared to nearby schools like Alfred Sorensen Elementary, Vida N Clover consistently underperforms on STAAR tests and has a lower statewide ranking.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the underperformance of student subgroups at Vida N Clover Elementary raise concerns about equity and access to quality education. Despite spending significantly more per student ($12,733 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools, the school's academic outcomes remain below district and state averages, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to quality education.

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.
