Collins Elementary

Summary:

Collins Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 798 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Alief Independent School District, which is ranked 699 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Collins Elementary faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance, which has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 30.3% to 40.54% of students scoring proficient or better in reading and 18.8% to 30.95% in math, compared to district and state averages of 40% to 50%. The school's performance varies greatly by student subgroup, with African American students performing relatively well but Asian and Hispanic students struggling to meet state averages.

Despite spending between $10,541 and $12,151 per student, which is higher than the spending levels of many nearby schools, Collins Elementary's academic performance remains below average. In comparison, nearby schools in the Houston Independent School District, such as Neff Elementary and Emerson Elementary, have slightly higher academic performance on STAAR tests, despite serving a similar population of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics and socioeconomic status, such as district-level policies and resources, may play a role in shaping the academic outcomes of these schools.

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.
