Harris Elementary

Summary:

Harris Elementary is a public elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 486 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.

Harris Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 4181-4199 out of 4675 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for English Language Learner (ELL) students. Harris Elementary's performance is also consistently lower than the state and district averages for all student subgroups, including female, male, African American, Hispanic, ELL, special education, and economically disadvantaged students.

While Harris Elementary spends more per student compared to the state average, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, and the nearby Hill Elementary and Caraway Elementary within the Aldine ISD also perform poorly on statewide assessments. In contrast, Nitsch Elementary, which is part of the Klein ISD, outperforms Harris Elementary and the Aldine ISD schools across all grade levels and subject areas.

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.
