High Pointe Elementary

Summary:

High Pointe Elementary is a public elementary school in Cedar Hill, Texas, serving 328 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cedar Hill Independent School District, which is ranked 639 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $9,315 to $11,682 over the past three years, High Pointe Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 28.05% to 42.11%, compared to the state average of 48.85% to 53.96%. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates well below the state average. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively stronger than its Gifted and Talented students.

When compared to nearby schools, High Pointe Elementary's academic struggles are not unique. The nearby Highlands Elementary and Waterford Oaks Elementary, both part of the Cedar Hill ISD, perform similarly to High Pointe on STAAR tests. However, the nearby public charter school Ume Preparatory Academy - Duncanville outperforms the Cedar Hill ISD schools, suggesting that there may be opportunities for High Pointe to learn from effective practices and implement targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by its student population.

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.
