Stevens Elementary

Summary:

Stevens Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 590 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 from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student ($10,887 in 2020-2021) than many nearby schools, Stevens Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,588 and 4,427 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24.39% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 44.66% in the Houston ISD.

In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Durham Elementary, Garden Oaks Montessori, and Oak Forest Elementary, generally perform much better than Stevens Elementary on academic measures, with many of them ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, may be critical in driving student success at Stevens Elementary, which has a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (85.93%) compared to the nearby schools.

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.

Open Quote Stevens elementary has fabulous teachers who are incredibly dedicated to the students. My older child has attended for 2 years. Like many HISD buildings, the exterior is no prize, but inside you'll find all sorts of neat workstations and some classrooms even have Smartboards. I know the school is trying to begin a tuition-based pre-k program, and I hope they get it up and running for the 2013-2014 school year so my younger child can attend. Close Quote

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.
