Kujawa Elementary

Summary:

Kujawa Elementary is a public magnet elementary school serving grades 1-5 in the Aldine Independent School District (ISD) in Houston, Texas. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (63.45%) and African American (30.96%) student body.

Kujawa Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools by SchoolDigger, with a 1-star rating in recent years. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state and Aldine ISD averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.42% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 31.37% in the Aldine ISD. Additionally, Kujawa Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

While Kujawa Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, such as Carter Academy and Conley Elementary, the school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2,797 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3,898 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of Kujawa Elementary's diverse student population.

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.
