Baker-Ripley Charter School

Summary:

Baker-Ripley Charter School is an elementary school in Houston, Texas that serves grades PK-5 and has a diverse student population. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and struggles to effectively serve its high-needs student population.

Baker-Ripley Charter School's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with its Asian, African American, and Hispanic student subgroups performing particularly poorly compared to their peers statewide. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low-income student population. Despite spending more per student than the state average, the school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from the 2,100s in 2015-2016 to the 4,300s in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, the nearby Benavidez Elementary and Sutton Elementary, which serve similarly high-poverty student populations, generally outperform Baker-Ripley Charter School on academic measures. This suggests that the school's struggles to support its most disadvantaged students, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, may be due to factors like its high student-teacher ratio and low spending per student, as well as its overall low district ranking as part of the Houston Independent School District.

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.
