Summary:

Cedar Creek Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools with a 0-star rating. On the 2023-2024 STAAR assessments, only 17.17% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with just 12.38% of 4th-graders and 13.98% of 5th-graders achieving proficiency or better, far below the state averages. This underperformance is likely linked to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 92.01% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Cedar Creek Elementary lags behind significantly in academic achievement. For example, Mina Elementary had 50.52% of 4th-graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, more than three times the rate at Cedar Creek. The racial makeup of Cedar Creek Elementary is also much more heavily Hispanic (94.06%) compared to Mina (40.13%) and Emile Elementary (61.27%), which have more diverse student populations. Addressing the root causes of Cedar Creek Elementary's underperformance, such as socioeconomic disparities and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for 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.
