Ralls Elementary

Summary:

Ralls Elementary is a public elementary school in Ralls, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 192 students. The school is part of the Roosevelt Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 934 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Ralls Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 79.69% Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year.

Ralls Elementary consistently performs below the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.29% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school has a very low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, and its performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, low socioeconomic status students, and at-risk students. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, $12,158 in the 2020-2021 school year, the outcomes do not reflect this investment.

When comparing Ralls Elementary to the nearby Roosevelt Elementary and Idalou Elementary, the performance gap is significant, with both Roosevelt and Idalou outperforming Ralls Elementary on STAAR tests and having higher statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Ralls Elementary (88.02% in 2022-2023) and the low ranking of the Idalou Independent School District (ISD) may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance, presenting an opportunity for the school and district to identify and address the root causes of these challenges.

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.
