Emmott Elementary

Summary:

Emmott Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 638 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, consistently low academic performance, and a bottom-tier ranking among Texas elementary schools.

Emmott Elementary has a higher percentage of African American (35.58%) and Hispanic (36.52%) students compared to district and state averages. The school consistently underperforms the district and state in STAAR test scores, with only 41.49%, 47.56%, and 38.96% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, respectively, scoring proficient or better in reading. Additionally, 77.59% of Emmott students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. As a result, Emmott Elementary ranks 3354 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, Emmott Elementary's Gifted and Talented program appears to be relatively strong, with the school ranking in the top third of Texas elementary schools in this category in recent years. Additionally, the school's performance with at-risk students has been mixed, with the school ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year, but dropping to the bottom half the following year. When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Fiest Elementary, Bang Elementary, and Gleason Elementary, Emmott Elementary generally underperforms in STAAR test scores and overall school rankings.

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.
