E A Jones Elementary

Summary:

E A Jones Elementary is a public elementary school located in Missouri City, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 479 and is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District.

E A Jones Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and stark racial disparities in student outcomes. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR assessments are significantly below the district and state averages, particularly for Hispanic and African American students. In contrast, nearby schools like Dulles Elementary, Edgar Glover Junior Elementary, and Hunters Glen Elementary generally perform better academically and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the higher spending per student at E A Jones Elementary, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement a comprehensive strategy that includes targeted interventions to support economically disadvantaged and minority students, professional development for teachers, and a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and school culture.

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.

Open Quote E A Jones isn't what it used to be! It is now consistent with low test score ranking in both county and state. Teachers should have aides to assist them with their larger classrooms. It seems understaffed. Children are not allowed to use the restrooms freely in the smaller age groups. Teachers would rather enable a 7yr old child to suffer embarrassment of peeing on self in front of other students just because their too lazy to address the child needs. I feel that an educator should be well balanced in lesson plans, guidance, patience and just general concern for the children while in their care. When complaints are addressed nothing is ever resolved. This is my child 1st year here and will be the last. Absolutely the worse!! Close Quote

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.
