Stewart Elementary

Summary:

Stewart Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hitchcock, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 346 students. The school is part of the Hitchcock Independent School District, which is ranked 884 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stewart Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.37% of 3rd graders, 25.47% of 4th graders, and 34.29% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American and low socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program appears to be relatively strong, with the school ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools for this student subgroup.

Interestingly, the nearby Hitchcock Pri elementary school, which is also part of the Hitchcock Independent School District, has a similar student racial makeup and free/reduced-price lunch rate as Stewart Elementary, but its academic performance is slightly better. In contrast, the elementary schools in the neighboring Texas City Independent School District, such as Kohfeldt Elementary and Manuel Guajardo Junior Elementary, generally have higher academic performance and better student outcomes compared to Stewart Elementary, despite serving a more diverse and economically disadvantaged population. The elementary schools in the Santa Fe Independent School District, which are located a few miles from Stewart Elementary, consistently outperform Stewart Elementary and the Hitchcock schools on academic measures, even though they serve a more affluent student population.

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.
