Carrillo Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of Carrillo students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd grade (27.45%) was significantly lower than the HISD (44.66%) and Texas (48.85%) averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 806 out of 4,359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 (rated 4 stars) to 2,786 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 stars). Carrillo's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students generally performing better than Special Education and Gifted and Talented students.

Carrillo Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This high rate of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and lower performance compared to more affluent schools. Carrillo's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby schools within the HISD district, such as Henderson J Elementary, Briscoe Elementary, and Tijerina Elementary, which share similar demographic profiles and socioeconomic challenges.

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.
