Sigifredo Perez Elementary

Summary:

Sigifredo Perez Elementary is a public elementary school in Laredo, Texas, serving 652 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the United Independent School District, which is ranked 310 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sigifredo Perez Elementary stands out for its unique student population, which is 100% Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools in the same district. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a lower 2-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to the district's 3-star rating. Academically, Sigifredo Perez Elementary's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with its 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate at 62.03% compared to the district's 57.21% and the state's 48.85%. The school's student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, also tend to perform below the state averages for their respective subgroups.

While Sigifredo Perez Elementary is part of the United Independent School District, it performs significantly worse than other schools in the district, such as Franklin D. Roosevelt Elementary and Veterans Memorial Elementary, which have higher academic performance and better school rankings. The high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at Sigifredo Perez Elementary suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic performance, which aligns with the lower performance of its student subgroups.

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.
