Southwood Valley Elementary

Summary:

Southwood Valley Elementary is a public elementary school in College Station, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the College Station Independent School District (CSISD), which is ranked 208 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southwood Valley Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 798 out of 4,359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to a current ranking of 3,074 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period. Compared to nearby schools like Pebble Creek Elementary and Forest Ridge, Southwood Valley has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students. However, the school also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.37% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Southwood Valley Elementary's student performance on STAAR tests has been mixed compared to the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in reading and math below the CSISD and Texas averages. The school's performance gaps between different student subgroups have also widened in recent years, with a significant underperformance for African American students. Additionally, the school's ranking for its gifted and talented program has declined, suggesting a potential need to re-evaluate the identification and support for high-achieving students. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, strengthen support for underperforming student subgroups, and explore ways to enhance the school's educational programs and resources.

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.
