Carroll Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with low performance on STAAR tests in both reading and math.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its African American students performing better than its Hispanic students. Additionally, 95.82% of Carroll Elementary's students come from low-income families, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.

Interestingly, nearby Sam Houston Elementary, which is only 1.61 miles away, ranked 418 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 and had significantly higher STAAR proficiency rates than Carroll Elementary. Despite having a higher per-student spending of $12,622 in 2020-2021, Carroll Elementary's student-teacher ratio of 15.6 in 2022-2023 is higher than the nearby schools, which range from 11.8 to 16.8 students per teacher. Overall, Carroll Elementary faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and closing the achievement gap among its diverse 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.
