Northside Elementary

Summary:

Northside Elementary is a public elementary school located in Henderson, Texas, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 484 students. The school is part of the Henderson Independent School District, which is ranked 797 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northside Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (34.09%) and African American (21.07%) students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the years. The school's student proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages, with most subjects falling below 40% proficiency. The school's performance is particularly concerning in 5th-grade Science, where only 13.24% of students were proficient in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 26.29%. Northside Elementary's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, consistently rank in the bottom quartile of their respective subgroups in Texas.

The nearby schools, such as William E. Wylie Elementary and Monnie Meyer Wylie Pri, have similar demographic profiles and district affiliations, but they generally outperform Northside Elementary in academic measures. This indicates that the challenges faced by Northside Elementary may be unique to the school and not necessarily reflective of the broader Henderson Independent School District or regional trends. The significant performance gaps between Northside Elementary's student subgroups and their statewide counterparts raise concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide equitable educational opportunities for all 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.
