Alief Montessori Community School

Summary:

Alief Montessori Community School is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the diverse Houston, Texas area, with a student population that is 43.51% Hispanic, 33.51% Asian, 15.68% African American, and 3.51% White. The school has consistently ranked in the top half of Alief Independent School District (ISD) and Houston Independent School District (ISD) elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alief Montessori's academic performance is a standout, with students consistently outperforming the state average on STAAR reading, math, science, and social studies assessments. For example, the school's 6th grade reading proficiency rate was 90.48% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 54.45%. The school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students also perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10% and top 25% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for students with special needs is an area of concern, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup.

Compared to nearby charter schools like Sst Advancement, Alief Montessori's academic performance is more consistent and higher-ranked, particularly for its African American and ELL students. The school's diverse student population and strong outcomes across racial subgroups suggest it is effectively serving its community. While the school's per-student spending is lower than nearby Alief ISD schools, it maintains a 0% dropout rate, a testament to its commitment to student success.

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.
