Don Jeter Elementary

Summary:

Don Jeter Elementary is a public elementary school in Rosharon, Texas, serving 822 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Alvin Independent School District.

Don Jeter Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (55.47%) and African American (29.81%) students compared to nearby schools like Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary and Pomona Elementary, which tend to have more White and Asian students. Academically, Don Jeter Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. However, the school excels with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the top 35% of Texas elementary schools in this category.

Don Jeter Elementary faces unique challenges, with a high percentage of students from low-income families (60-70% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and struggles with certain student subgroups, such as Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Despite these challenges, the school's strong performance with Gifted and Talented students and English Language Learners suggests that it has the potential to improve its overall academic outcomes by identifying and replicating the strategies that work well for these student populations.

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.
