Student-teacher ratio in context
How Remynse El compares with Texas and U.S. medians
What stands out at Remynse El
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Remynse El is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among Texas schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.
Higher need meets a leaner resource profile
Remynse El combines above-typical economic need with a Resource Investment Index in the lower part of the Texas distribution. This is the page's clearest equity tension: the population indicated by free-meal eligibility may require more support, while the reported staffing, counselor, gifted-program, and attendance inputs produce a comparatively lean composite. The index is not an academic grade, but the mismatch is a concrete reason to inspect each component closely.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Remynse El's 36.8% chronic-absence rate is more consequential than a generic staffing label: at least one quarter of students missed 10% or more of school days in the 2021-22 collection. That level can affect instruction, counseling demand, and continuity even when other reported resources look ordinary. The dataset records the scale of absence but not its causes, so it should prompt a current-year question rather than a conclusion about school management.
Remynse El is a high-poverty, mid-sized combined-grade school in Grand Prairie, Texas, enrolling 394 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 11.9:1 puts it in the smaller third of Texas schools by student-teacher ratio.
Economic need is high: 89.6% of students qualify for free meals, 45% above the Texas average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
With 394 students, its enrollment sits close to the Texas median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 8,960 scored Texas schools.
Against 1,541 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks mid-pack at #879.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (66%) and African American (24%) (diversity index 50/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 394 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 36.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 19.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Arlington Isd also operates Martin H S (3,535 students) and Sam Houston H S (3,208 students) alongside Remynse El.
