Austin Elementary

Summary:

Austin Elementary is a public elementary school in Conroe, Texas, serving around 950 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Conroe Independent School District, which is ranked 215 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

While Austin Elementary has a diverse student population, with 60% Hispanic and 35.47% White students, its academic performance has consistently lagged behind the district and state averages on STAAR tests in reading and math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 39.87% of 3rd graders and 40.54% of 4th graders at Austin Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 61.25% and 63.44% for the district, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from 1822 out of 4581 schools in 2021-2022 to 2639 out of 4675 schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, Austin Elementary's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is significantly lower than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, when compared to other elementary schools in the Conroe ISD, such as Wilkinson Elementary and Anderson Elementary, Austin Elementary generally performs worse on STAAR assessments and has a lower statewide ranking. This suggests that factors beyond funding and student-teacher ratio, which are comparable to nearby schools, may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, at 81.05%, likely plays a significant role in the school's performance, and further analysis is needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted interventions to support student success.

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.
