Griffith Elementary

Summary:

Griffith Elementary is a public elementary school in Clute, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Brazosport Independent School District. With a diverse student population and a focus on supporting economically disadvantaged and minority students, Griffith Elementary has demonstrated strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top half of Texas elementary schools.

Griffith Elementary's academic achievements are particularly noteworthy, with its students outperforming state and district averages on STAAR tests in reading and math. The school's performance is especially strong in certain student subgroups, such as African American and special education students, who rank among the top quartile of Texas elementary schools. This suggests that Griffith Elementary has effective strategies in place to support the diverse needs of its student population, which is predominantly Hispanic (81.33%) and economically disadvantaged (76.16% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

While Griffith Elementary's overall performance is impressive, the school also faces some areas for potential improvement, such as the performance of its Gifted and Talented students and its STAAR Spanish assessments. However, when compared to nearby schools, such as Bess Brannen Elementary and O.M. Roberts Elementary, which have also demonstrated strong academic achievement, Griffith Elementary continues to be a standout performer in the Brazosport Independent School District.

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.
