Peck Elementary

Summary:

Peck Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 388 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly African American (54.38%) and Hispanic (44.33%) student population, with a high percentage (97.94%) of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Peck Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Houston Independent School District and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores, with only 13.51% 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, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Peck Elementary's performance is particularly low for students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While nearby schools, such as Thompson Elementary, also struggle academically, they generally perform better than Peck Elementary. The nearby KIPP Texas Public Schools and Beatrice Mayes Institute Charter School show mixed results, with KIPP Explore Academy outperforming Peck Elementary in some areas, but Beatrice Mayes Institute Charter School having similar academic challenges. Despite Peck Elementary's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's significant academic challenges suggest the need for comprehensive interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
