Scroggins Elementary

Summary:

Scroggins Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 335 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scroggins Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population at 98.51%, compared to nearby schools that have more diverse racial compositions. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1,430 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 3,715 out of 4,578 in 2020-2021. Its performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. While the school has performed well for female students and English Language Learners, it has struggled with special education and gifted and talented students, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for these groups.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Pleasantville Elementary, Scroggins Elementary's academic performance is generally lower. The school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Scroggins Elementary has not been able to translate these resources into significant academic gains, suggesting that the school may need to examine how resources are being utilized to better support student learning.

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.
