Houser Elementary

Summary:

Houser Elementary is a public elementary school in Conroe, Texas, serving 636 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Conroe Independent School District, which is ranked 215 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Houser Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was 46.58%, compared to 61.25% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Similarly, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 31.94%, compared to 55.12% for the district and 40.86% for the state. Houser Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 995 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to a low of 2,390 out of 4,581 in 2021-2022. The school's current ranking for the 2023-2024 school year is 1,358 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Houser Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Ride Elementary, Suchma Elementary, and Kaufman Elementary schools within the Conroe Independent School District. This may be due in part to Houser Elementary's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (69.97%), which research has shown can impact academic achievement. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also an area of concern, and the school's special education and at-risk student subgroups present opportunities for targeted interventions and support.

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.
