College Hills Elementary

Summary:

College Hills Elementary is a public elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through 4th grade students in College Station, Texas, which is part of the College Station Independent School District. The school has seen a shift in its student racial makeup, with a decrease in White students and an increase in African American and Hispanic students in recent years.

College Hills Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state on STAAR assessments in both reading and math across grades 3 and 4. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 45.98% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 52.14% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's ranking and rating from SchoolDigger have also fluctuated, ranging from a high of 1,478 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools (3 stars) in 2015-2016 to a low of 3,818 out of 4,647 (1 star) in 2022-2023. The school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups have particularly struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools in recent years.

College Hills Elementary faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and relatively high per-student spending, suggesting the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and instructional practices. When compared to nearby schools like Rock Prairie Elementary and Johnson Elementary in College Station ISD, as well as Sam Houston Elementary in Bryan ISD, College Hills Elementary generally underperforms in terms of student academic achievement and overall school rankings.

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.
