Oak Ridge Elementary

Summary:

Oak Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Conroe, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Conroe Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

While Oak Ridge Elementary's STAAR reading and math proficiency rates are generally lower than the district and state averages, the school's performance on STAAR Spanish tests is better than the district and state in some grades. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has seen an increase in spending per student in recent years. However, the school's performance lags behind that of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Suchma Elementary, Ride Elementary, and David Elementary, which have higher percentages of White and Asian students, lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, and higher STAAR proficiency rates.

While Oak Ridge Elementary's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, is higher than the overall school performance, the school's performance for students with special needs and gifted and talented students is lower. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has generally declined over the past several years, suggesting that its performance may be declining relative to other Texas elementary schools.

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.
