Harlem Elementary

Summary:

Harlem Elementary is a public elementary school in Baytown, Texas, serving 667 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 706 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harlem Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2521 and 3555 out of 4,675 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.43% of 3rd-grade students at Harlem Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 37.55% in the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and White students consistently ranking in the bottom 25% of their respective subgroups statewide.

Despite spending approximately $11,640 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than the district average, Harlem Elementary's academic performance remains below par. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which is slightly higher than the district average of 14.5. These factors suggest that the school may face challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing its resources to support student learning. Addressing the persistent academic underperformance and disparities in student group outcomes will be crucial for ensuring that all students at Harlem Elementary receive a high-quality education and have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
