Cimarron Elementary

Summary:

Cimarron Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 677 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Galena Park Independent School District (GPISD), which is ranked 369 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cimarron Elementary has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 91.44% to 92.02% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance on STAAR assessments has been mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages in reading and math, while others lag behind. Notably, the school's English Language Learners (ELLs) and economically disadvantaged students have shown relatively stronger performance, with some grades ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools for those subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Cimarron Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools in the GPISD, which all serve similar student populations. However, Woodland Acres Elementary, located about 1.2 miles away, has consistently outperformed Cimarron Elementary on STAAR assessments and has a higher statewide ranking. The Varnett School - East, a public charter school located about 1.7 miles away, has struggled with lower student performance compared to Cimarron Elementary and the state averages.

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.
