Tice Elementary

Summary:

Tice Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 668 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.

Tice Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with strengths in certain grade levels and subjects, such as higher proficiency rates on STAAR Spanish assessments for 3rd and 4th grades compared to the district and state. However, the school has struggled in other areas, particularly in Mathematics, where its proficiency rates were lower than the district and state in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1203 out of 4260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2744 out of 4578 in 2020-2021.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the GPISD, such as Normandy Crossing Elementary, Cimarron Elementary, and James B Havard Elementary, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance trends as Tice Elementary. However, some schools, like North Shore Elementary and Purple Sage Elementary, have shown stronger academic performance in certain grade levels and subjects. Additionally, Tice Elementary's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 90%) is a significant factor that may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

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 My child attended Tice 2013-14 school year and was very happy. She transferred from a low performing school and I just wasn't seeing positive results. I wanted the best education I could possibly get from GPISD so I moved her to TICE and the results are on paper and through her self esteem. She passed all three parts of the STAAR and the teachers were able to identify the difficulties she was having in two weeks from when school started. They worked hard as well as she did to get great results. She's excited about a new school year and thanks to the TICE TEAM she tells everyone about how she had a great year. It's amazing to see her excited and outgoing. Thanks to the teachers, principal, asst. principal, faculty, and staff for all your support. Keep Up the Great Work! 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.
