Eliot Elementary

Summary:

Eliot Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 551 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (98%) and a high percentage of students from low-income families (94.56% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Eliot Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to the Houston Independent School District and Texas state averages. While the school outperformed the district and state in 3rd and 4th grade reading and 3rd grade math, it struggled in 5th grade science. Eliot Elementary's performance for English Language Learners has been relatively strong, ranking in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools, but its performance for Special Education students has been a concern, ranking in the bottom 5%. The school has a higher per-student spending level and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to state averages.

Compared to nearby schools like Kashmere Gardens Elementary and Port Houston Elementary, Eliot Elementary generally outperforms them in academic performance, particularly in reading and math. However, the school struggles more in 5th grade science. Despite the challenges of having a high percentage of students from low-income families, Eliot Elementary has shown some improvement in its statewide ranking and performance for specific student subgroups over time.

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.
