Katherine G Johnson Stem Academy

Summary:

Katherine G Johnson STEM Academy is an elementary school in Greenville, Texas, serving 128 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Greenville Independent School District, which is ranked 894 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being named after the renowned NASA mathematician Katherine G. Johnson, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments generally below the state and district averages.

Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's challenges are further compounded by its proximity to several other low-performing elementary schools within the Greenville Independent School District, including Bowie Elementary, Lamar Elementary, Carver Elementary, and Crockett Elementary. Addressing the systemic issues and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial for Katherine G Johnson STEM Academy to enhance its academic performance and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
