Belaire Elementary

Summary:

Belaire Elementary is a public elementary school in San Angelo, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the San Angelo Independent School District. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with its students, including those from various subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.

Belaire Elementary's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science falling far behind the district and state levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.51% of 3rd-grade students and 20.51% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the district's 41.14% to 43% and the state's 48.85% to 53.96%. The school's struggles are further highlighted by the fact that nearby Ft Concho Elementary and Santa Rita Elementary, also part of the San Angelo ISD, consistently rank in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools.

Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (71.68% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and the underperformance of its student subgroups, Belaire Elementary's per-student spending is relatively high, suggesting that the challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding. The school's low student-teacher ratio also indicates that it has the potential to provide more individualized attention and support to its students, but this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the unique needs of Belaire Elementary's student population and implementing targeted, evidence-based interventions will be crucial for the school to improve its academic performance and provide its students with the educational opportunities they deserve.

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.
