Schulenburg Elementary

Summary:

Schulenburg Elementary is a public elementary school serving 276 students in grades PK-5 in Schulenburg, Texas, which is part of the Schulenburg Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with 40.22% White, 15.58% African American, 39.49% Hispanic, and 3.62% two or more races, which is more diverse than nearby schools like Vysehrad Elementary and Sheridan Elementary.

However, Schulenburg Elementary has struggled with its academic performance, ranking 3295 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year. This is lower than nearby schools like Flatonia Elementary, Weimar Elementary, and Flatonia Elementary. The school's performance on STAAR tests also varies significantly across different student groups, with White students and English Language Learners performing better than African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students.

Additionally, Schulenburg Elementary has a high percentage of students (73.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Vysehrad Elementary (51.33%) and Flatonia Elementary (51.52%). This suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces in terms of academic performance and resources.

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.
