Carmichael Elementary

Summary:

Carmichael Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 621 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 790 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carmichael Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in reading and mathematics. The school outperforms the Aldine district and the state average in STAAR/Reading and STAAR/Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 51.72% of 3rd-grade students at Carmichael Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR/Reading, compared to 31.37% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school also ranks higher than the district and state in several student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. However, Carmichael Elementary performs lower than nearby Klein Independent School District schools, such as Klenk Elementary and McDougle Elementary, in reading and mathematics.

Another notable characteristic of Carmichael Elementary is its high concentration of students from low-income families, with over 92% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate suggests unique challenges and resource needs for the school. Despite these challenges, Carmichael Elementary has shown consistent performance improvement over the years, with its statewide ranking increasing from 3,486 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 2,099 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and a corresponding increase in its SchoolDigger star rating from 1 to 3.

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.
