Janowski Elementary

Summary:

Janowski Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 412 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Janowski Elementary stands out for its high Hispanic student population (95.15%), significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 76.98% to 94.69% Hispanic students. The school also outperforms the Houston ISD and Texas state averages in several STAAR test areas, particularly in 4th and 5th grade mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, 61.9% of 4th graders and 70.21% of 5th graders at Janowski were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 43.79% and 48.48% for Houston ISD, respectively. Additionally, Janowski's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well, ranking 1967 out of 3556 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating.

However, Janowski Elementary faces some challenges. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 2113 out of 4260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 3244 out of 4647 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its special education and gifted/talented students ranking near the bottom of Texas elementary schools. Compared to nearby schools, Janowski generally performs better in mathematics but lags behind in reading and science. The school's high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 96.12% to 97.2% over the past three school years, also suggests the need for targeted support and resource allocation to address the unique needs of its diverse 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.
