Summary

Menchaca Elementary is a public elementary school located in Manchaca, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 748 students. It is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 578 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Menchaca Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2660-3641 out of around 4,500 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics and science. Menchaca's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also generally lower than the district and state, indicating challenges for its Spanish-speaking student population.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages, Menchaca has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes. When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Wayside Altamira Academy, Williams Elementary, and Idea Bluff Springs Academy, Menchaca consistently underperforms on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges it faces are not unique to the school itself but may be more systemic within the broader educational landscape.
