Arizona Fleming Elementary

Summary:

Arizona Fleming Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 504 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Fort Bend Independent School District.

Despite the school's diverse student population, with 60.52% Hispanic, 18.25% African American, and 15.67% Asian students, Arizona Fleming Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with the largest gaps in 5th grade Science and 3rd grade Mathematics. The school's performance has declined over the years, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for Hispanic and English Language Learner students. This is likely due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 85.12% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Nearby schools in the Fort Bend Independent School District, such as Rita Drabek Elementary and Townewest Elementary, generally outperform Arizona Fleming Elementary in academic achievement, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. However, these nearby schools also serve a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. To address the unique needs of its diverse student population, Arizona Fleming Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and support, such as evidence-based instructional practices, additional teacher training, and community partnerships.

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.
