Francis Elementary

Summary:

Francis Elementary is an elementary school located in Humble, Texas, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 826 students. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 790 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Francis Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was just 20.36%, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Science, with only 4.43% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 26.29%. These academic struggles are likely exacerbated by the school's high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 96.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While nearby schools like Lakeland Elementary and Autumn Creek Elementary perform significantly better academically, other nearby schools, such as North Bend Elementary and Johnson Elementary, also struggle with low STAAR scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that addressing the challenges faced by Francis Elementary will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond just increased funding and resources, and may involve targeted interventions, teacher professional development, and community engagement.

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.
