Summary:

Ernesto Serna Fine Arts Academy is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Socorro Independent School District in El Paso, Texas. The school has a student population of 710 and a predominantly Hispanic student body (over 98% in recent years).

Despite its focus on fine arts education, Ernesto Serna Fine Arts Academy consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 31.75% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to 51.55% for the district and 48.85% for Texas.

The school's performance has also fluctuated over the years, suggesting inconsistency in its educational program. While the school's focus on the fine arts may provide unique strengths, the data indicates a need for improvement in core academic areas and support for vulnerable student populations.

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.
