Loma Verde

Summary:

Loma Verde is an exemplary elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 794 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Socorro Independent School District. With a predominantly Hispanic student population, Loma Verde consistently outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR tests, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Loma Verde's academic excellence is evident across grade levels and subject areas, with 66.67% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 51.55% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's strong performance extends to other student groups as well, with Hispanic, special education, and low-income students all performing well above the state and district averages. This commitment to equity and inclusion is further reflected in Loma Verde's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.8, which may contribute to its ability to provide individualized attention and support.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sierra Vista STEAM Academy and John Drugan School, both in the same district, Loma Verde stands out as a high-performing institution, with significantly higher test scores and rankings. This suggests that the school's effective teaching practices and strong curriculum are key factors in its consistent academic excellence, which could serve as a model for other schools seeking to improve their educational quality and equity.

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.
