Crenshaw Elementary

Summary:

Crenshaw Elementary is a public elementary school in Channelview, Texas, serving 533 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Channelview Independent School District, which is ranked 731 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crenshaw Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 86.87% Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average. The school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state on STAAR assessments, with only 28.24% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading, compared to 44.74% for Channelview ISD and 48.85% for Texas. Crenshaw Elementary struggles with the academic performance of several student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for White, male, special education, and gifted and talented students. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 97%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the challenges, Crenshaw Elementary's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools within the Channelview ISD, such as McMullan Elementary and B.H. Hamblen Elementary, which have higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The school's declining statewide ranking and consistent underperformance compared to district and state averages indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to improve 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.
