Edgar Glover Junior Elementary

Summary:

Edgar Glover Junior Elementary is a public elementary school in Missouri City, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, consistently lags behind district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.31% of 3rd-grade students at Edgar Glover were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 56% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school also serves a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 85% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student is higher than surrounding schools, and it has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may indicate efforts to support student learning.

In comparison, nearby schools like Lexington Creek Elementary, Quail Valley Elementary, and Palmer Elementary generally outperform Edgar Glover Junior Elementary on academic measures, with higher STAAR test scores and higher statewide rankings. The exception is Hunters Glen Elementary, which serves a student population with a similar racial and socioeconomic profile to Edgar Glover and has academic performance closer to the school's level.

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.
