Sneed Elementary

Summary:

Sneed Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 1,033 students in grades PK-4 and part of the Alief Independent School District, which is ranked 699 out of 968 districts in the state.

While Sneed Elementary shares demographic similarities with nearby schools, such as high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, the school consistently underperforms its peers. Sneed has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (63.41%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 48.52% to 84.72% Hispanic. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroups like African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing well below district and state averages. Despite spending significantly more per student ($12,189) than the nearby Bush Elementary ($8,730) and Neff Elementary ($12,734), Sneed Elementary's academic performance has been declining over the past 10 years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 3,664 out of 4,260 schools in 2013-2014 to 4,338 out of 4,647 schools in 2022-2023.

The challenges faced by Sneed Elementary suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, support systems, and resource allocation strategies. While the school serves a high-needs population, its inability to translate additional funding into improved academic outcomes for students, particularly its diverse subgroups, indicates that a closer examination of the school's approach may be warranted to better support the success of all learners.

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.

Open Quote I have 6 children, 4 of them have graduated, and I have two children now attending Sneed Elementary. Frankly, I have been appalled at the attitude of the principal's total lack of nurturing attitude and over-abundance of rules. In any organization, attitudes flow from the top down. There are 34 rules posted on the walls of the school, and I feel like this school is a military academy for toddlers. I witnessed the principal grab a fearful little girl out of the hand of her father on the first day of school, and she even had the gall to tell my son to get a haircut. (His hair is neatly combed and barely touches his collar.) On another occasion another father was having trouble getting his little girl to go to class and the principal again advised him to take her to class regardless, but the father stood his ground and eventually took the girl home.

I've had my children in a lot of schools, and this has got to be the worst. Close Quote

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.
