Summary:

Runyan Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and variable STAAR test scores compared to district and state averages. While the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency was slightly below the district but above the state average, its 4th-grade reading proficiency was well below both the district and state averages. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish tests has also been variable, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others lag behind. Runyan Elementary's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as African American students, Hispanic students, and students with low socioeconomic status, have also been lower than the school's overall ranking.

Compared to nearby schools within the Conroe Independent School District, such as Suchma Elementary, Reaves Elementary, and Giesinger Elementary, Runyan Elementary's academic performance is generally lower, with these nearby schools having higher statewide rankings and better performance on STAAR tests. Additionally, Runyan Elementary has a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (78.08%) compared to nearby schools, which may present additional challenges in supporting 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.
