South Knoll Elementary

Summary:

South Knoll Elementary is a public elementary school serving 615 students in grades PK-4 in the College Station Independent School District (CSISD) in Texas. The school has seen a gradual increase in its Hispanic student population, now making up nearly half of the student body.

South Knoll Elementary's performance on state assessments has been mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school's 4th grade math proficiency rate was higher than CSISD and Texas, its 3rd and 4th grade reading proficiency rates were lower. The school also struggles with lower performance on Spanish language assessments. Demographically, South Knoll has a higher percentage of Hispanic students and lower percentage of White students compared to nearby schools. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, with higher rankings for Gifted and Talented students but lower rankings for English Language Learners and low-income students.

South Knoll Elementary spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, which may contribute to its overall performance. However, the school faces challenges in addressing the diverse needs of its student population, particularly the growing Hispanic demographic. By closely analyzing data and targeting interventions, the district and school leaders can work to improve outcomes for all students and ensure equitable access to a high-quality education.

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.
