Uvalde Dual Language Academy

Summary:

Uvalde Dual Language Academy is an elementary public charter school serving grades PK-6 in Uvalde, Texas, with a student population of 630 that is predominantly Hispanic. The school is part of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 885 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Uvalde Dual Language Academy has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.31% to 54.1% in reading and 19.67% to 28.95% in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 48.85% to 54.45% in reading and 37.1% to 48.96% in mathematics. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students outperforming their Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) peers. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 75.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Uvalde Dual Language Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.2, its academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Dalton Elementary and Uvalde Elementary schools, suggesting that factors beyond just student-teacher ratio, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance. The school's declining academic performance over the past few years and the stark disparities in subgroup performance highlight the need for intervention and improvement strategies to address the unique needs of this student population.

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.
