Horne Elementary

Summary:

Horne Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 891 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD), which is ranked 363 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horne Elementary faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance, particularly in light of its high percentage of economically disadvantaged and minority students. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (67%) compared to the district (63.91%) and state (48.85%) averages, and its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 38.39%, compared to 57.62% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile for Asian, multi-racial, and English Language Learner students, but performing better for African American and special education students.

Despite the higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio at Horne Elementary, the school's academic performance lags behind the district and state averages, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges. When compared to other nearby schools within the CFISD district, such as Hairgrove Elementary, Horne Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted academic interventions and support programs, analyzing the school's instructional practices and curriculum, and engaging the school community to support student learning and address non-academic barriers to 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.
