Parkland Elementary

Summary:

Parkland Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 510 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Ysleta Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 277 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Parkland Elementary stands out for its high Hispanic student population (over 90%) and exceptional academic performance, particularly for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those in special education. The school has shown consistent improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating in the past few years. Its STAAR test scores are on par or above district and state averages, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 14:1. In comparison, nearby schools like Stanton Elementary and Coach Archie Duran Elementary in the El Paso ISD generally have lower academic performance and statewide rankings.

However, Parkland Elementary faces challenges in meeting the needs of its gifted and talented student population, as their performance is relatively lower compared to other subgroups. The school's high per-student spending, which is above the district and state averages, may contribute to its academic success, but the school will need to explore strategies to better support its gifted and talented students to ensure all students reach their full potential.

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.
