Roderick R Paige Elementary

Summary:

Roderick R Paige Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas that serves 371 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roderick R Paige Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (63.07%) and African American (36.66%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with test scores that are lower than the Houston ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, only 35.29% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR/Reading, compared to 51.32% for Houston ISD and 53.96% for Texas. The school's student groups, such as female, male, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socio-Economic Status students, all rank in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools.

While the nearby schools, such as Berry Elementary and Janowski Elementary, also serve predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student populations, they generally outperform Roderick R Paige Elementary in terms of academic rankings and test scores. Additionally, Roderick R Paige Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of around $10,600, which does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for the 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.
