Vista Del Sol Environmental Science

Summary:

Vista Del Sol Environmental Science is an elementary school in El Paso, Texas that serves around 510 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, with a predominantly Hispanic student population. The school is part of the Socorro Independent School District, which is ranked 345 out of 968 school districts in Texas.

While Vista Del Sol Environmental Science has a focus on environmental education, its academic performance has been mixed in recent years. The school's 3rd grade reading proficiency (40.58%) was lower than the district (51.55%) and state (48.85%) averages, but its 4th grade reading proficiency (65.45%) was higher. In mathematics, the school's performance was generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. Compared to nearby schools like John Drugan School and Vista Hills Elementary, Vista Del Sol Environmental Science has underperformed on academic measures.

One of the key challenges facing Vista Del Sol Environmental Science is its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.76% to 88.63% in recent years. This suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may impact academic achievement. However, the school's relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may be an effort to address these socioeconomic challenges and provide additional support for its students.

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.
