Blue Ridge Briargate Elementary

Summary:

Blue Ridge Briargate Elementary is an elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving grades PK-5 and part of the Fort Bend Independent School District.

Despite being part of a district ranked 356 out of 968 in Texas, Blue Ridge Briargate Elementary has significantly lower academic performance compared to district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are consistently among the lowest in the state, ranking 4,558 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools. Nearby schools in the same district, such as Hunters Glen Elementary and Rosa Parks Elementary, also struggle with low academic achievement, suggesting systemic challenges within the district.

The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at nearby schools indicates that Blue Ridge Briargate Elementary likely serves a predominantly low-income student population. Research shows that socioeconomic status can significantly impact academic achievement, and schools in low-income communities often face additional challenges in providing quality education. To address the needs of Blue Ridge Briargate Elementary and other struggling schools in the district, a comprehensive review of educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems may be necessary, along with targeted interventions and additional resources to support the specific needs of the student population.

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.
