Osborne Elementary

Summary:

Osborne Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 315 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Osborne Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic assessments, with only 22.22% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 44.66% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, and its performance is particularly low for African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students. Despite relatively high per-student spending of $13,577, the school's performance has declined over the years, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support.

Compared to nearby schools within the Houston Independent School District, such as Moreno Elementary and Durkee Elementary, Osborne Elementary's academic outcomes are significantly lower. The high percentage of students from low-income families (99.05% free or reduced-price lunch recipients) likely contributes to the school's challenges, as research has shown that poverty can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Osborne Elementary
