Jones Elementary

Summary:

Jones Elementary is an elementary school located in Humble, Texas, serving grades 1-5 with a student population of 721. 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.

Despite having a higher per-student spending level and student-teacher ratio than some nearby schools like Ogden Elementary and Mildred Jenkins Elementary, Jones Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2954 and 4229 out of around 4,600 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for African American and Hispanic students.

With over 86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Jones Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources. The school's consistent low performance, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and comparatively high spending and student-teacher ratio suggest that a multifaceted approach may be needed to address the root causes of the school's struggles and improve academic outcomes for all its students.

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.
