Houston Gateway Academy Inc Elite College Prep

Summary:

Houston Gateway Academy Inc Elite College Prep is a public charter elementary school serving 571 students in grades PK-8 in Houston, Texas. This high-performing school stands out among its peers, consistently ranking in the top 15% of Texas elementary schools and maintaining a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years.

The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (95.62%), and its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups have particularly strong performance, ranking in the top 5-10% of Texas elementary schools in these categories. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-income families (85.99% free/reduced lunch), Houston Gateway Academy Inc Elite College Prep is able to achieve exceptional academic outcomes, outperforming the state and district averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-8th grade Harris J.R. Elementary, Sanchez Elementary, and Southmayd Elementary counterparts, which are all part of the Houston Independent School District, have significantly lower STAAR Reading and Mathematics proficiency rates.

The school's commitment to providing a quality education for all students is further demonstrated by its consistently low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1% over the past 5 years, and its English Language Learner students' exceptional performance, ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools in this category. This level of sustained excellence across multiple student groups is a testament to the school's effectiveness and its ability to serve the diverse needs of its community.

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.
