Sst The Woodlands

Summary:

Sst The Woodlands is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in The Woodlands, Texas, part of the School of Science and Technology district. The school has seen a shift in its student racial makeup in recent years, with increases in White and Asian students and decreases in Hispanic students.

Sst The Woodlands has demonstrated exceptional academic performance, particularly in reading, mathematics, and Algebra I. The school outperformed the district and state averages on STAAR assessments across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Notably, Sst The Woodlands has maintained a 100% proficiency rate in STAAR EOC Algebra I for the past two school years, significantly exceeding the district and state. The school's performance for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups is also a strength, ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools for these groups.

While Sst The Woodlands excels in many areas, the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of its English Language Learner and Special Education student populations, as their performance has been lower compared to other subgroups. Nearby schools, such as Creekside Forest Elementary and Tough Elementary, also demonstrate exceptional academic performance, suggesting a strong educational environment in the local area.

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.

Open Quote Best school I ever taught at. Wonderful kids. Great teachers and administration. I had to relocate out of state, otherwise I'd still be teaching there. COVID was tough, but that was the case everywhere. Close Quote

Open Quote They FAILED my kid during the Covid lockdown. His grades have been honor roll every year of school until this year where his grades have slipped down to C’s and B’s and then the last half of the year with everything going on his grades slipped in math and language. Not because he didn’t understand the content but because he could not understand how to work zoom and the other five types of platforms he had to go to to get all of his school information.
It was extremely disorganized and very frustrating. His father is a first responder and I myself am a volunteer at a homeless advocacy outreach so we both were dealing with the Hectic stress of trying to work, volunteer, get his school stuff together, have Trustworthy and reliable supervision for him since there was no longer the option of babysitters or daycare.
It was horrible just trying to figure out how to get through the day much less having to deal with him needing to be in a six hour full-time online school.
His grades slipped not because he didn’t do the work or he made bad grades on tests but because it was very confusing on how he was supposed to turn in certain items and no one was trying to make it clear on what he was supposed to do at home, what he was supposed to do online, and what he was supposed to do at home but turn in online.
You would think there would be some sort of leniency during this time , But no instead his teacher decided to get him a failing grade.
Keep in mind what I said before about he was an honor roll student until this one class.
He knows all of the information he gets straight A’s on his tests. So is the problem with him or with a teacher I don’t know it’s not for me to say because I’m not there with him at school and I don’t know but I will tell you that I was here with him at home and I myself could not figure out what they expected either. It was just too much work and zero direction.
Before this incident I would’ve given the school three maybe four stars but the way that they handled all of this and the fact that they actually gave him a failing grade ... he will not be going back next year Close Quote

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.
