Stephen F Austin Elementary

Summary:

Stephen F Austin Elementary is a public elementary school in Baytown, Texas, serving 813 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 706 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stephen F Austin Elementary faces several challenges, including lower-than-average test scores, achievement gaps among student subgroups, and a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 43.31% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 37.55% and the state's 48.85%. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade proficiency rates ranging from 31.01% to 43.38%, compared to the state averages of 40.86% to 48.96%. The school's African American and Hispanic student groups generally perform below the state averages for their respective groups, and the school's Gifted and Talented students also perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the same district generally perform better than Victoria Walker Elementary, Carver Elementary, Alamo Elementary, Ashbel Smith Elementary, Lamar Elementary, De Zavala Elementary, Clark Elementary, and Crockett Elementary on STAAR assessments, with higher proficiency rates in reading, mathematics, and science. This suggests that factors such as student demographics and school-level practices may be contributing to the disparities in academic outcomes.

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 kids have attended SFA Elementary and I have always been extremely pleased with the school/teachers. Their teachers have always been so helpful in teaching the kids to be successful and to make the best choices for their future. The office staff is always pleasant and helpful. The principal (Mrs. Smith) is awesome too! 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.
