Alfonso Borrego Senior Elementary

Summary:

Alfonso Borrego Senior Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the San Elizario Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 472 that is predominantly Hispanic (99.79%).

Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with 90-91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Alfonso Borrego Senior Elementary has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools in recent years and earning a low 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's STAAR proficiency rates are significantly lower than the San Elizario ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, including reading, math, and science. Compared to nearby schools like L.G. Alarcon Elementary and Josefa L. Sambrano Elementary, both also in the San Elizario ISD, Alfonso Borrego Senior Elementary performs significantly worse on academic measures.

The school's struggles extend to its student subgroups, with Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs all performing well below state and district averages. Additionally, the school's per-student spending, ranging from $11,110 to $11,645 in recent years, is lower than the state average, suggesting a lack of resources to support its high-needs student population. The school's academic performance has also been on a declining trajectory, with its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating steadily worsening over the past decade.

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.
