Sst Champions stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 5.53% White, 33.44% African American, 53.39% Hispanic, and 3.43% Asian. The school generally outperforms the state average in reading STAAR tests, with 3rd-grade reading proficiency projected at 66.67% compared to the state average of 48.85%. However, the school's math performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. Sst Champions also has a relatively low dropout rate of 0.8%, lower than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Sst Champions performs better than Houston Independent School District schools in both reading and math STAAR scores. However, the school lags behind more affluent and higher-performing schools, such as Spring Branch Academic Institute and T.H. Rogers School, in several academic metrics. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Sst Champions, ranging from 64.73% to 76.23%, indicates that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its academic performance.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
